The Port of Seattle announces 13 new dining and retail concepts with 10 concessionaires selected in a competitive bidding process for locations in the C Concourse Expansion at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). The new concessions are part of an Upgrade SEA capital project that adds four floors to the existing C Concourse, currently under construction and slated to open in spring 2026. Travelers will recognize popular local and global brands serving up burgers, macarons, barbecue, and more.
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.
Three concessionaires were awarded multiple locations. Ten of the units will be within the C Concourse footprint, while three will be located just outside to the east. The list of selected proposers are as follows:

About the C Concourse Expansion Project
The C Concourse Expansion Project will transform the area where C and D Concourses meet by adding four floors to the building’s current three floors. In addition to the new dining and retail spaces, the project adds new premium lounge space, an Interfaith Prayer and Meditation room, a nursing room, and an outdoor viewing area, referred to as the Lookout at C. The atrium area, called the Tree at C, will feature grand seating and a performance area for live music.
