SEATAC, Wash. (AP) -- After three years of construction, the $126 million Pacific Marketplace at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport opened to travelers on Monday.

The marketplace includes 11 restaurants and nine shops. Its main feature is a 350-foot-long by 65-foot-high glass wall that allows people to look out at the tarmac as planes take off and land.

The marketplace is only open to ticketed passengers who have passed through security. The airport has planned a grand opening celebration for the general public June 4.
