Introducing Snow Bro, Snow Dragon, and Powder Pup—our snowplows, creatively named by the talented students of Highline Public Schools.

This spring, members of our Aviation Customer Service team, including Dianne Ciceron, participated in Highline Public Schools’ Career Exploration Days. The event brought in representatives from a variety of industries to introduce seventh-grade students to different careers. The Port, which has an ongoing partnership with Highline to introduce students to Port-related jobs, decided which roles to highlight in the sessions and Highline provided guidance around approaches to working with middle schoolers and creating experiences that would resonate.

Here are some gold-medal worthy 🏅 travel tips if you're heading to SEA Airport:

Starting this month, all tenants at SEA Airport who provide food service must now use only reusable or approved compostable food service ware and packaging. This includes restaurants with sit-down service, tenants with to-go service, lounges, and catering groups. This new requirement now eliminates plastic and plastic-lined service ware in favor of certified compostable alternatives. The initiative will help capture more food waste for composting, ease sorting confusion for travelers, and prevent food-contaminated products from ending up in the wrong place. Existing efforts have already led to 1,394 tons of waste being collected for composting in 2023 alone. That’s a third of the waste SEA diverts from landfill each year, and these changes will push that figure higher. In support of our goal to divert 60% of all terminal waste from landfills, we’re working with tenants to ensure all non-compostable products like cups, bowls, and utensils are replaced by approved products.

The next time the temperatures drop, three SEA Airport snowplows will hit the airfield debuting a new look and new names. The new names — Sno Bro, Powder Pup, and Snow Dragon — were selected through a contest held for third-grade students in Highline Public Schools. More than 180 individual entries were submitted by students. The winners were selected by our snow team who operate the snowplows and are responsible for snow and ice maintenance of runways, taxiways, and the ramp areas. Read more → https://lnkd.in/gJaFeatC

We want SEA Airport to be welcoming, safe, and comfortable for everyone. Creating a welcoming place for all means updating spaces to make travel easier and more convenient. One of the most important stops on your airport journey will probably be a restroom. The Restroom Renovation Project is underway on the B, C, and D concourses to modernize these important spaces with lighter and brighter designs and improve accessibility. Here’s what’s making SEA restrooms accessible and welcoming for all travelers.
