Not a lot more detail, but it's now confirmed by Alaska:
The all-new Lounge is currently scheduled to open in the 2025-26 timeframe. It's expected to be more than 10,000 square feet – giving our guests a lot more elbow room.

The 1000sf expansion to the existing C lounge and express lounge in B concourse are interesting.... especially since they'll be done soon. I'm excited for the larger one but wow, is that far out. With all the merger talks and the way things work with airlines, will AS even be around then?

Though I'd love to be optimistic, my bet is that no matter when the main terminal renovations are completed, the new AS lounge will still be delivered "late" (i.e. not 2025/2026). SFO AS lounge anyone?

Too bad they weren't able to come to an agreement to accelerate the new AS lounge opening; though, he hints that they're working with other options to expand the existing space in the interim...
From the location of the new AS space, its goodbye Capers Cafe. l wonder what 's coming for the "Common Use Lounge" on the floorplan ... a replacement PP option?

I talked to the employees there recently and they were pretty confident they'd be getting a new spot. Of course, nothing is concrete yet but they were hoping for the spot where Kenny and Zukes currently sits (just on the other side of the coffee place near Caper's).

Kenny and Zukes looked past tense last time I was through there, so that might be realistic.

The same link recently shared in other threads also has new renderings of the upcoming PDX lounge.

Small update from the announcement about greater frequencies out of Portland:
We're excited about our future in Portland. We're putting the final touches on the design of our all-new Flagship Lounge at PDX. It's currently scheduled to open in the 2025-26 timeframe with more than 10,000 square feet of space that will provide double the seating of our current Lounge spaces. The atmosphere will be infused with the Pacific Northwest spirit like our award-winning Flagship Lounge at the N Concourse in Seattle. Lounge members and guests will enjoy a barista station with hand-crafted espresso beverages and drip coffee from Stumptown; complimentary beer, wine and house spirits; our signature Loungers to relax in; and a custom fireplace.

Confusing--especially for Admirals Club members....maybe they will think they have to be traveling internationally to use the "Flagship" lounge and will flood the "express" lounge in B although my guess is that the mini-lounge in B will go away when the new lounge opens...if it's going to be above Stumptown next to TSA, that's going to be a long walk for folks who may be flying out at the end of C. Speaking of Stumptown--the line at that little Starbucks in C concourse is crazy in the morning. They either need a second C location (boot Stumptown) or swap locations with Stumptown which seems to have more space.
