The iconic Sub Pop Store at Sea-Tac Airport will close Dec. 31, 2025, ending a 12-year run that brought Seattle based independent music culture to one of the region’s busiest travel hubs.

Sub Pop announced the closure this week, thanking customers, artists and employees who helped turn the airport retail space into what the label described as a community gathering point for music lovers passing through Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

“Thank you truly to every customer, music lover, artist and employee who passed through our little outpost,” Sub Pop said in a statement. “You filled it with heart, soul, curiosity and laughter, and turned an airport shop into something that felt like community.”

The store opened in 2013 and became known for selling records, apparel and merchandise from Sub Pop artists alongside locally themed items.

Sub Pop said travelers still have time to visit before the end of the year and take home what it described as “lovingly curated junk” before the store closes for good.

The label said it is grateful for the years spent at the airport location and for the support it received throughout its run.

“You were the wind beneath our wings (the non-megalomaniacal kind), and we’ll always be grateful for every minute we got to share with you,” Sub Pop said.
