As a diverse and world-class city, Seattle has a culture that is strongly shaped by the music of local artists. The gateway into this culture can be found at Sea-Tac International Airport, the 13th ranked airport in the U.S. and 40th in the world, hosting more than 43 million passengers per year. With a goal of creating a unique sense of place while promoting the Pacific Northwest’s rich music history and vibrant scene, the Port of Seattle and Seattle Music Commission teamed up with PlayNetwork to create the Experience the City of Music initiative, a comprehensive music experience at Sea-Tac Airport that celebrates music from Seattle and the Northwest. PlayNetwork makes this idea come alive through an integrated content strategy.
