Yeah, I don't like that ugly orange, red, and blue fin toward the right and behind the classy red and navy partial fin.

Bridge is up
last weekend the bridge went up and Mt. Rainier view is gone.
here are couple pictures showing the cool new overbridge linking S and International Arrivals facility in A terminal at SEA
and a zoomed out view - both taken from A SC.

I don't understand why they weren't able to put the pedestrian walkway adjacent to the existing train tunnels (like ATL). I imagine it's cost related but this massive bridge probably wasn't cheap.

It was a nice view, but without zoom, Rainier wasn't exactly looming large. Also, with Seattle weather, I usually can't see past the hangers anyway.
The bridge was most certainly way cheaper than widening the existing tunnels, they go under active taxiways and Seattle doesn't exactly have a great recent history with tunnel construction. I like the bridge, I am looking forward to using it, and it has been interesting for me to see it come together, although I seem to rarely fly out of S these days.
