The Port of Seattle requested Commission approval to reimburse airport tenant SP-LW LLC (Sub Pop-Li'l Woody's) up to $360,095.72 for design costs after it was discovered that a required grease waste line could not be installed at their originally awarded Concourse C restaurant space (CC-06) due to building code constraints. As a resolution, the Port proposed moving the tenant to a comparable space in the North Satellite (NS-23) and amending their lease accordingly, with no changes to concession fees. The situation also prompted the Port to establish new planning protocols to verify utility infrastructure viability before awarding future food and beverage spaces.Open full document
