1-Mile OW Nationals
Angle Lake, Washington, September 23, 2017
I've still not swum this event, but I can tell you the lake is within one mile of SeaTac airport. You could actually walk there from the airport or just go one stop south on light rail. Very easy to stay nearby since all the airport hotels are right there. It would certainly be an easy event to fly in for!
