Summary
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) has been undergoing construction on Concourse C, which is expected to open in late May or early June. The $399 million project has added four new floors to the concourse, increasing its size from 81,000 to 226,000 square feet. The expanded concourse will feature new dining venues, retail spots, art, and amenities, including a rooftop solar photovoltaic array and an enclosed outdoor viewing deck. Alaska Airlines is also building a two-story, 40,000-square-foot lounge in Concourse C, set to open in late 2027.
Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
The Concourse C expansion promises a break from the usual airport chaos, with its expansive new space, rooftop solar panels, and stunning views of the Olympic Mountains. Travelers can expect a variety of new dining and retail options, as well as a live music stage and an interfaith prayer and meditation room. The concourse’s design, led by The Miller Hull Partnership and Woods Bagot, aims to bring a sense of the Pacific Northwest to the airport. And, of course, there’s the obligatory Alaska Airlines lounge, because what’s a Seattle airport without a nod to the region’s favorite airline?
