The Port of Seattle announces the selection of new dining and retail options for 17 different locations throughout Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). The 11 concessionaires who were selected in a competitive bidding process will bring these concepts to life starting next year. The new coffee concessions represent the region’s renowned coffee culture and vast landscape of roasters and flavor profiles, while the retail concessions ensure local and visiting passengers truly feel the Pacific Northwest sense of place. Construction on each of these spaces will be staggered, with some slated to begin in 2027.
Selected proposers were determined through a rigorous, thorough, and fair evaluation process with six rating criteria: background/experience and financial capability, concept development and customer experience, unit design and materials, financial offer, management/staffing and operations, and job quality/workforce development. This process included external independent facilitation and observation.
