SEA Airport is raising the roof … literally.

Elevate your airport experience with four new floors on top of the existing C Concourse. Stretch out with twice the elbow room, and embrace the wide open spaces, new eats, and more seats. Relax in an open amphitheater with soaring ceilings and a gathering place with live music. Expand your perspective with unobstructed views of the airfield and Olympic Mountains from a lookout deck.

Take a virtual tour of your new C Concourse.
