contact with the Port of Seattle for an XpresCheck™ COVID-19 pop-up
testing facility at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA).

it is expected to be fully-operational by mid-March.
XpresCheck will be building a pop-up facility
pre-security in Baggage Claim near Carousel 9. It will host eight
separate testing rooms with an anticipated capacity to administer

excited to be launching XpresCheck at SEA Airport as it marks our
first COVID-19 testing facility on the West Coast. Additionally, we
are proud to be a trusted partner of Hawaiian Airlines and the

SEA. This helps to make pre-travel testing accessible and seamless
for passengers taking a long-awaited Hawaii vacation.”
