SUBJECT: ADR Program Briefing
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The continued redevelopment of the Airport Dining and Retail (ADR) Program offers an excellent
opportunity to advance the Port's Century Agenda goals by enhancing the Airport's profile as the
preferred gateway to the Pacific Northwest by promoting job growth, creating new opportunities
for small, local, and disadvantage businesses, and meeting the expectations of the traveling
public for quality food service, retail products, and personal services.
The ADR program is an important element of the Port's ongoing efforts to provide outstanding
customer service and improve the traveling experience. In addition, the businesses generate
significant revenue that is reinvested to support airport operations and capital
improvements. Starting in 2014, ADR underwent a master planning effort. On July 4, 2025,
implementation of that ADR master plan was completed.
This briefing is to provide Commission with an update on the overall implementation of the ADR
Master Plan and will review what redevelopment for the ADR program soon looks like.
Commission will also be briefed on the SEA Sparks program, f/k/a, the ADR kiosk program,
including the five categories of small business opportunities within the program, and upcoming
availability within the program.
