If you fly out of Sea-Tac, a new lounge is coming, and it isn't from an airline. The Port of Seattle Commission unanimously approved a 15-year lease on Tue., Oct. 27 for a Chase Sapphire Lounge in Concourse A, a roughly 16,000-square-foot space beside the Delta lounge complex.
Small businesses worried about lost sales, so commissioners also approved a five-year study of how lounges affect nearby dining and retail tenants. About $500,000 will be added yearly, and the first report is due by the second quarter of 2027.
