Paine Field’s new name uses Seattle for clout

Published 1:30 am Friday, July 28, 2023

Renaming our airport Seattle Paine Field International Airport is a great stepping stone for the county leadership to rename us Seattle, Snohomish County (Everett’s Paine Field is now Seattle Paine Field International Airport, The Herald, July 18).

That’s because everything that includes the name “Seattle” is automatically more prestigious, even if it has no actual connection to Seattle.
