Seattle: Fact and Fiction

What's reality and what's hollywood smoke-and-mirrors? Here's a handy chart we can all add to so we can bunk and de-bunk life in Seattle in Grey's Anatomy vs. real Seattle.

Seattle:  Fact and Fiction - Grey's Anatomy

An airport.

Many of the dramatic external building shots of Seattle Grace Hospital are actually the Sea-Tac airport!
