PAE is amazing; I echo the sentiments of others. I grew up in Everett, currently live in the Bay Area. My family lives 10 mins from PAE, so it's super convenient for me to fly to and see my family. I had a mid-afternoon, weekday flight last month and no one was in line for TSA. Also, there was still tons of seating in the terminal and the flight to SJC wasn't even half full. It will be interesting to see how much busier it will get. I'll be flying in/out of PAE again in May and July, so I'm also excited to see more of the dining options open.
