Chili's, new restaurants opening soon at SEA Airport C Concourse
SEATTLE - Western Washington is finally getting a Chili's again. But it's not where you'd expect it.
The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) recently shared photos of new restaurants coming to the C Concourse, including one with the iconic Chili's logo.

In addition to the Chili's, the airport is also opening a Buffalo Wild Wings Go, Great State Burger, Olympia Coffee, and Port of Subs.
The backstory:
Currently, the only Chili's restaurant in Washington state is located in Spokane. The fast casual chain closed its only western Washington locations in Bellevue's Crossroads Mall and Issaquah back in 2008. Since then, the Seattle area's been a Chili's desert, until now.
SEA Airport previously announced a Chili's was coming back in April, not long after opening a 24-hour 7-Eleven store in baggage claim.
What's next:
While there is no official date for when the C Concourse restaurants will open, they'll likely be operational in time for the World Cup. Seattle is hosting its first match on Monday, June 14.
FOX 13 Seattle will get a full tour of the new dining areas on Wednesday.
