On December 19, 2024, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) held a topping out ceremony in the rain to celebrate the final steel piece being raised and welded to the top of four additional floors to add various amenities like an observation tower, lounges and a ramp tower adjunct. This is to prepare SEA not just for the 2026 World Cup of Soccer festivities where SEA expects 750,000 international travelers, but also to ensure good service quality.
Additionally, Simple Flying learned at the December 19 event that an extension to the SEA ramp tower is part of this expansion. Ramp towers provide for air traffic control of ground operations. Considering the taller Concourse C will block some of the SEA ramp tower's views, an adjunct facility is necessary. Obviously SEA airport can get congested and needs more space.
