When Beatles were in Seattle 60 years ago, they made it from Sea-Tac Airport to the Edgewater Hotel and then to Seattle Center.
Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr of The Beatles fishing from their hotel room at the Edgewater Inn, Seattle, Washington, 21st August 1964. The Beatles are in Seattle to perform at the Seattle Center Coliseum during their US tour.
“And basically is on the edge of what would be the runway,” Cooper explained. “And then you see this little cement space that goes off to the side? That would be the taxiway. So they would have parked it on that taxiway, it appears, and that’s on the very far north end of the airfield.”Cooper cautions that all of this part of the 1964 version of Sea-Tac has been radically changed – especially when the Port of Seattle expanded westward and built the third runway in the early part of this century.
“They probably went to a chain link fence gate that was there, and then they entered into what looks a dead-end road for that neighborhood,” Cooper said. “And then somehow wheeled off through the neighborhoods to head north.” Foster was the perfect wheelman for the Tragical History Tour. He’s a Navy vet, a retired Alaska Airlines mechanic who worked at Sea-Tac for 20 years, and a guy who totally understood what KIRO Newsradio hoped to accomplish.
Without the viaduct, this portion of the Tragical History Tour meant Ron Foster had to do a lot of U-turns and turnarounds to get to the famous hotel where the band fished in Elliott Bay from their windows. The not-so-secret route that gets there the fastest is westbound on Wall Street.
