Navigating Sea-Tac — especially during the holiday season — is stressful enough, but trying to figure out the food scene + find coffee while not straying too far from your gate can be downright overwhelming.

We’ve put together a list of airport eats and their locations to help make your next trip easier.

Coming soon

Keep an eye out for iconic Beecher’s Handmade Cheese’s second Sea-Tac outpost at Concourse N. In that same area, the Bad Egg Breakfast Bar (serving all-day breakfast), British chain Costa Coffee, and Village Pub plan to open soon, too.

Over in the Central Terminal, look out for the fine-dining establishment Salty’s at SEA and the brewery BrewTop Social.

An image on the left reflects a rendering for Pier 58's design. An image on the left is an aerial photo of Pier 58 as it exists now mid-construction. Main similarities include the shape of the pier, the jellyfish playground structure, a main plaza area in the center, and section off space on the right for the elevated lawn. The current photo does not yet show a planned tree grove and planted grass for the lawn, as depicted in the rendering.
