        "question": "Which airports in Washington are best to fly into from Calgary?",
        "answer": "Seattle-Tacoma International is the main gateway for flights from Calgary, offering the most frequent service and connections to the rest of Washington. It is the best choice for visiting Seattle, the Puget Sound region, and Olympic National Park. Spokane International serves eastern Washington and is a good option for road trips to the Palouse or the Idaho border, but direct flights are limited. Smaller airports like Bellingham or Pasco may require connections and are less convenient for most travelers."
