Seattle-Tacoma International Airport this week launched an initiative to promote the local music of the region to visitors called Experience the City of Music. 
Included in the initiative are in-terminal music programming, safety announcements by superstars of Seattle music (Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Heart's Ann and Nancy Wilson, and Sir Mix-A-Lot), video programming profiling area musicians, and a six-channel Internet radio service (which visitors can enjoy on the airport's free Wi-Fi).
The project is a joint effort of the Port of Seattle, the Seattle Music Commission, and PlayNetwork (and, despite its name, doesn't seem to include the involvment of the EMP Museum, formerly the Experience Music Project, founded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen).
Read more here and here. And to hear Eddie Vedder remind you to keep your carry-on luggage in your possession at all times, book a flight to Seattle!
