Ok...maybe it was just me last night, but when we were taking, over where the old "A" terminal was, there is a huge structure being built on what appears to be the TOP of the newer terminal area. It's at least 8-10 stories, just steel at this point. Is this by chance a hotel? The steel didn't look like it was built to be that big fancy window looking thing that all the drawings of the new airport have, but just like the frame of a hotel, or a office area. Any ideas? Also...while we are at it, if you take the tram to the N terminal from the Main terminal, there is another tram line opposite the N tram line in the main terminal (like 50 feet away), where is that one going to go to?

The large building being constructed on top of the new "A" Concourse at Sea-Tac is an office building for Port of Seattle and some tenant offices that are presently located in the old central terminal area and will be relocated to the new building (freeing up more space in the main terminal for airline office space).

The train you saw is the "Shuttle Train" that is designed to carry passengers between the train loops that connect the North and South satellites. Presently the shuttle train is being renovated and will not reopen until 2004.
