Sea-Tac airport Starbucks to close after contract ends and concessions shift

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is reducing its Starbucks locations after HMSHost, the airport’s concessions operator, ends its current contract. While Sea-Tac serves many South King County residents and workers, this change affects airport operations rather than Burien-specific services or policies. Burien residents who travel through Sea-Tac may notice fewer coffee options, but this is primarily regional airport news.
