World Cup Travel Pressure: Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin privately warned that “sanctuary city” airports—including Seattle—could lose customs and immigration processing for international travelers and cargo, with airlines warning it would disrupt tourism and global freight. Memorial Day Headwinds: Travelers are also bracing for higher costs and busy skies as gas and airfares stay elevated. Local World Cup Prep: Mercer Island is rolling out match-day plans for up to 750,000 regional visitors, including traffic, parking, public safety, and transit coordination. Washington Travel Boost: Tri-Cities Airport is set to receive $2.7M for terminal and baggage upgrades, aiming to expand flight options. On-the-Ground Fun: Brand USA launched “Get Facts, Get Going” to help international visitors plan with trusted travel info.
