Beyond the Cabin: Takeoff in Seattle

This article is part of Singapore Airlines’ Beyond the Cabin Season 2 video series, in which cabin crew unveil experiences in their favourite destinations.

Seattle is famous for landmarks such as the Space Needle, Pike Place Market and the Fremont Troll. But few people realise that this vibrant city in the Pacific Northwest is also the birthplace of many things – including grunge music and, of course, Starbucks. 

This cultural cachet is what draws Singapore Airlines cabin crew member Abdul Rauf to Seattle’s shores. “My favourite thing about Seattle is its culture. Its heritage is preserved through its museums, historic sites and vibrant neighbourhoods, making it an engaging and rewarding destination for history enthusiasts,” he shares. 

Join Rauf as he embarks on an illuminating tour of the Emerald City.
