The flight deck announced decent at 13:04. Soon we reached Seattle. We flew directly over Seattle with view over the Skyline. The skyscrapers in the central business distict, the city hall and the kingdome passed on the left side.
A few minutes later I could see Everett - the Boeing plant - on the left side. We landed on 16L. A Northwest DC10 started on 16R.

Great report!
Just because you're obviously pretty anal, if you know how many seconds take off took , you'll want to know a few corrections: the Kingdome was imploded in March 2000 (see http://www.martinidesign.com/kingdome/home.htm). You saw Safeco Field and the new football stadium under construction (see http://www.firstandgoal.com/).
Also, Boeing's Everett plant (where they assemble 747/767/777) is about 40 miles north of SEA-TAC, you passed Boeing's Renton plant (where they assemble 737/757 and build various other parts) - see http://www.boeing.com/commercial/fac...entonsite.html.
