While we all eagerly await the temporary North Satellite boardroom, here's the latest from yesterday's commission briefing on the larger "NorthSTAR" overhaul:

See page 44 noting a target completion date of July 27, 2020.
And while we don't yet know what the actual rooftop Board Room will look like, we can take solace knowing that someone put a few minutes of thought into the sign telling us how to get there

July 2020!?!?
Won't we all have personal hovercraft by then that can get us from Seattle to London in under 2 hours? Will airports still be necessary?
Interesting fact: The Seattle Mariner's stadium was built in 2.3 years. Seahawks stadium was built in 3 years. The Boardroom is taking LONGER than it took to build 2 stadiums (one with a retractable roof) COMBINED. Think about that.

In all fairness, they weren't playing games in them during the construction.

No one is visiting the temporary Board Room in the N terminal. It is completely blocked off and quite the eyesore right now. From the sound of the report, the new BR will be above the NEW extension of the N terminal, so it will not interfere with current ops either.

Latest I've heard is due to unexpected delays, the temporary BR location on N will be open in November.

Agreed 5 years is an insane timeframe, even given the fact that airport ops must continue around the construction.
Another interesting tidbit I found in the POS's (appropriate acronym, btw ) is this: "AAG decided to delete Dual Door scope from the project."
IIRC, there was a pilot test awhile back on planning/deplaning from both the front and back doors - looks like we have the results of that testing in the POS document.
