Think You Know Seattle’s Southside? Think Again. Coffee, UFOs, and Micro Adventures with Mark Everton

Is SeaTac just an airport? Is Tukwila just a mall? Not even close.

In this episode of the Exploring Washington State Podcast, host Scott Cowan welcomes Mark Everton, President and CEO of Explore Seattle Southside, for a surprising deep dive into a region most people only pass through.

Mark breaks down the magic of “micro adventures” easy, unexpected experiences designed for curious locals and time-crunched travelers alike. You’ll hear about:

A world-class coffee culture where $1.50 Ethiopian brews and bubble tea tasting flights coexist
The Maury Island Incident, a little-known UFO case older than Roswell—with the first U.S. “Man in Black” sighting
Why the Museum of Flight quietly attracts more visitors than any other attraction in Washington State (yes, even more than Pike Place)
App-guided trails that lead you to 24 bubble tea shops within 2 miles of the airport—plus happy hours and UFO hotspots

Whether you’ve lived here for decades or have a long layover ahead, this episode will change how you see Seattle’s southside.
