        "question": "Which airports in Washington are best to fly into from San Francisco?",
        "answer": "From San Francisco, Seattle-Tacoma International has the most flights and is the primary gateway for the Puget Sound area, including Seattle and Tacoma. It is also convenient for Olympic National Park and as a starting point for road trips to the coast or mountains. Spokane International serves eastern Washington well and is a good choice if you are heading to the inland northwest or the Idaho panhandle. For the Yakima Valley or central Washington, consider flying into Seattle and driving, as regional airports have fewer connections."
