Feasible to Leave Airport During 10 Hour Layover in SEA?
Through my finely honed skills at booking optimal flights, I find myself with a 10 hour layover in SEA this Sunday (FAI-SEA-KEF-ARN). That's a bit much of SEA even for an Alaskan like me!
I've never, ever considered leaving the security area during a layover in SEA, even with TSA Precheck, but with 10 hours to kill, it would be nice to head downtown to do some exploring. Complicating matters is that I'll have a carry-on roller bag with me, which I'd really rather not drag along with me on the train and exploring.
I realize that in these post-911 days, there are no easy places to safely dump luggage for a few hours.
So, do I have any good options? Are there in fact places I can stash my bag while I'm exploring, maybe nearby off-airport? (I'm tempted, of course, to check a bag, but with international flights and a tight itinerary the first few days I'm leery of that.)
Otherwise, I'll just bring a stack of reading that I'm way behind on.
Thanks for any suggestions!
