June, 2005 - Seattle-Tacoma International Airport celebrated the official opening of its new Central Terminal and Pacific Marketplace, just a year after opening the airport's updated Concourse A.
The new airport facilities are a shopper's dream, in which Hudson Group's award-winning concessions play a starring role.

Some of these award-winning concepts include:
"Made in Washington" - presents in a setting of shining woods and other natural materials the very best of Washington State, including cherished regional food specialties, crafts and giftware (much of it signed by local artists), the highest quality Seattle souvenir apparel, and more.
"Discover Puget Sound" - celebrates the indigenous qualities of the dynamic and colorful Pacific Northwest, with an assortment of beautiful merchandise representing the intriguing mix of museums, cultural attractions, local artists and icons unique to the Puget Sound region.
"Hudson Booksellers" - designed with filigreed ironworks reminiscent of the Seattle waterfront, this is a serious bookstore for the dedicated reader, with a broad genre selection and best-selling titles and new releases, including hard cover, paperback, trade, local interest and children's books.
