Stuck at the Airport has a new look.
We’ve been wanting to update the Stuck at the Airport site design for a long time.
And we think this popular Instagram post about the “Hangar Hideaway” package at the Hyatt Regency Lake Washington next to Boeing’s Renton airplane factory brought enough new visitors to the site that it stopped working.
Fixing and updating the site had to happen. Fast.
There are still some pieces to fix. But we like the new look and we are forever indebted to the web wizard who helped us out on. And we would love to know what you think.
In the meantime, we’re proud of a recent story we produced for TPG about the mixed-used development going up in downtown Seattle that includes the impossible-to-miss fuselage of a decommissioned 747-400 airplane.
The plane was cut up at the airplane boneyard in Victorville, California. And 39 giant pieces had to be trucked north to Seattle on flatbed trucks; often with police escorts. Which was just one of the many challenges the project is faced with.
When completed, the “Aero1200” development will sport two 48-story building, two rooftop pools, a 2,300-seat Live Nation event space and a Trader Joe’s grocery store.
But there’s no word yet on what the tenant will be inside the fuselage.
Some of the ideas that have been floated include a cafe, a bar, artist and office space, day car center, night club and a bowling alley.
What are your suggestions?
