I know it's technically accurate, but the description of Starbucks as a "local option" is extremely amusing.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct.

These are often operated by companies like HMS or OTG and simply license the brand from local businesses. In my opinion they rarely recreate the experience of the real establishment.

Skillet in terminal N is operated by HMS. I know because I gave feedback and they respond.

Side note: the amazing Salt and Straw is from Portland.

Salt & Straw is a Portland company AFAIK.

Is it true they no longer have an Ivar’s?

Yeah: https://mynorthwest.com/900612/ivars-leaving-seatac-airport

Ivars lost their lease and left in 2018. Anthony’s seafood is also gone.

I think there might be an Ivars kiosk.
