All your wants... I can't really say needs as it's more of a want whenever I browse at a Hudson News as it's filled with so many souvenirs I know that if a pen intrigues me I'm a visitor lol and that's exactly what happened. It's amazing what you're able to find here from magazines to pedialyte and not to mention the various electronic items, snacks and outerwear and is usually the place I go for puzzles and magazines back in the day before the cellphone kept me occupied all that are still found here and so much more. Though there is a staff there once you find your items getting them is on your own using the self check out is something you're starting to see more and more but love this spot that's very clean and organized that's filled with so much great items in one spot. Thank you! read more

Hudson News is a ubiquitous business found at airports. In SeaTac, we found one open 24/7 at the Central Terminal Well organized and well lit store. Hudson News carries everything you may need or want while traveling. From first aid kits, ear phones, magazines, bottled water, snacks and souvenirs, may be found here. Prices are not inexpensive, as you are in an airport venue. Convenience is the keys at Hudson News. One stop shopping. read more

I know airport shops are expensive, but this experience made it worse. I used the self-checkout and the barcode and QR code on my drink were too close together. The machine scanned the QR code first, glitched, and called for assistance. The attendant was rude, stayed on her phone while helping me, and acted annoyed. I was told I needed to cover the QR code with my hand while scanning -- something that should really be explained or fixed by the store. Poor customer service and a frustrating checkout process. I'll skip this place next time. read more

I've never been a souvenir person, but I buy a lot of cheap magnets now that I have kids. I stopped by the Hudson News in Terminal D on our way out of Seattle and picked up an assortment of goodies for the boys. I've been to plenty of Hudson News locations over the years, and there's nothing special about this one except that it sells Seattle and Washington-themed souvenirs because it's in Seattle, Washington. There was a solid assortment of knick knacks and apparel, in addition to whatever snacks, books, and travel accessories you might expect to find at an airport shop. There were a couple stands of magnets, keychains, pens, and the like, with a buy-3-get-1-free deal on the magnets and keychains. This was a little confusing, and I overheard another customer arguing with the sales clerk about how many items she had to buy to get the freebie. I didn't hear the outcome, but the answer was three, with the fourth free. The deal also only applied to magnets and keychains and not the pens on the same rack. I learned all this when I checked out with my two magnets and one pen. I decided I didn't need any more Space Needle magnets than I already had in hand. I did also buy a larger decorative Space Needle souvenir, one of those shakeable plastic dealies with water and colorful confetti inside. I may not love souvenir junk, but this was a fun family trip, and I wanted my kids to take home a few tangible mementos. It was easy to get these at Hudson News. read more

Hudson nonstop seatac concourse C2 Location. I just watched at May 11 3pm an elderly person try to buy some chips and not understand how to use the equipment. Confused the lady asked for help. The sales person totally ignored the lady till I got her attention. Then didn't even explain how the tech worked completely. just saying it would charge 10$. Not explaining it was all monitored and she would get money back. She never mentioned how to pay either. Pissing off the lady and me. I have experience Hudson's inactive staff before but this was the worst I have seen. Only twice have I had a nice interaction with their employee and that was at George Washington airport in Texas as their hospitality is always wonderful. read more

Very convenient in the airport!! of course that's what Hudson meant to be. Some of you all may see they're pricey, but if you forgot something it's here. If you lost something get another one here. If you need something to drink a snack or something to read, it's here. Stop crumbling they have some pretty good items. My neck rest and got this one very comfortable and the best one I've ever had. sure you could get it elsewhere $10 less. I lost mine and did not want to fly without one. so I think it's a great deal and convenient read more

Hudson News - Neck pillow!! Left yours somewhere?! Grab this memory foam!! - Bookstores Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Dipped in here for my pre flight water bottle. All the essentials are here, good place to get anything you may have forgotten, or to get something to pass the time. Everything is a little higher priced at the airport, everyone knows that, but if you gotta have it, you gotta give up the extra cash!!! read more

Seriously, who wants to buy a large size can of cola. All they have is cans. Luckily the place across the isle has bottles.

This is a neat store. There are decent magnets of you want a small souvenir. The T-shirt selection was not that varied, but they had decent choices. Unless you are desperate for a toiletry item, I wouldn't buy it here. There are snacks, magazines and basic souvenirs here. read more

SCAM CENTRAL. $40 for an apple cable that sells for $11 everywhere else. I know things are more expensive in an airport, but come on, you are nothing but rip off artists. I'd rather my phone die before I give you $40 for a cable. read more

The roommate gets a magnet every time we go on vacation. We never found one in Seattle while souvenir shopping, so we dropped by Hudson News on the way to our gate. It was Wednesday, January 20th, a little after 4pm. They have a decent selection of magnets. We ended up getting a Seattle Sunset 3D magnet for $2.99. I also picked up a few magazines: Entertainment Weekly ($4.99) & Nylon ($4.99) and a bottle of Dasani water ($2.59 for 1 liter) for the plane. Cashiers were nice. We were rung up fast. If you need some water and magazines for the flight, Hudson News would be the place to grab them. read more

Hudson News - Seattle Sunset 3D magnet ($2.99) - Bookstores Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Located in practically every airport in the USA, you can grab snacks, drinks, books, magazines and various small accessories like earbuds, neck pillows and phone chargers here. One cashier at this location that was taking forever to ring people up with a large counter with two shelves that people have to lean over in order to reach the POS machine adding to the checkout time made it take 20 minutes to get cashed out with just 4 people ahead of me. Prices are hyped up as well. read more

This Hudson News is located on Concourse A of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, near Gate A11. It's your standard Hudson News - convenience store goods, bottled water and sodas, snacks, toiletries, newspapers, magazines, tourist trinkets and such. And of course the higher airport prices. Still, it was convenient to snag a couple of bottles of water before boarding my flight to Dulles! read more

Has everything you could need but the prices are high since it's an airport. Exactly what you would expect I imagine I will go here again.

Located in pretty much every airport in the United States, they carry the usual last minute souvenirs. They also carry books, magazines, drinks, and candy to help past the time. Expect to pay higher prices compared to the local retail market. They have water bottle fill stations around the airport. Bring an empty water bottle and save some money on water. read more

This Hudson News, located in the C terminal of the Seattle Airport, does sell books, magazines, and newspapers, but it also sells so much more. i wandered in here with time to kill before a flight home to LAX and walked out with a little bag full of goodies. If you're looking for souvenirs to bring home for friends to let them know that you were thinking of them while you were away this is a great place to stop in and browse. Never mind the fact you totally forgot about buying them anything while you were actuallly in the city - shhhh!!! They carry a variety of t-shirts, hats, glasses, and all kinds of little knick knacks that say Seattle all over them. They also sell sunglasses, hats, ties, socks, all kinds of clothing and accessory items without the word Seattle on them so if you've forgotten to pack something for your trip, you may be able to pick up something last minute here. The sunglasses were actually pretty cheap at 2/$25 and there was a pretty good selection of them. I made a visit up and down the candy aisles. Yes, there were candies and snacks in more than one area of the store and I picked up a few goodies to keep me going on the plane. There were candy bars and single serving bags of candies on all sides around the cash register fixture. There was also an entire snack corner filled from floor to ceiling with chips and many different types of bagged candy. There was a large wall section devoted to magazines designed to appeal to many different types of travelers. There was a technology section where they carried not only headphones and chargers but all types of electronic devices and accessories. There was an entire wall of them. There was even a small section with over the counter medications and toiletry items for those in need of them. All of these items were on one side of the store, but there was a small passagelike hallway at the back lined with books that led to the other side of the store which was a bibliophile's dream. This was a full on bookstore, not just a book section in a gift store like I usually see in airports. I'd already brought a book to read on the plane, but I lost myself for about half an hour browsing and discovered a number of books I'd like to read soon. This Hudson News is larger and carries a much more diverse selection of merchandise than I usually see in airports. I'm definitely a fan. read more

Listen to your customers! We went to buy food before our flight. The cashier accidentally charged us twice for one item. Not a big deal, we went back, and she said she could issue a refund via her manager. She called up her manager and this is where we started to run into problems. She arrived looking obviously angry before even speaking to us. She proceeds to rip the items out of hands and the receipt. And says ok, I've given you a refund, now go. We try to explain that it was just one item that was charged twice it we still want to keep the rest. This concept. Only infuriated her more as she proceeded to say no, you didn't pay so you don't get to keep the items. It took a good 5 minutes of showing her the receipts that the refund was for the one item and not the entire purchase and she had indeed only refunded that since item. While I've never had this experience before, I would definitely avoid the chain from here forward. Luckily SeaTac has plenty of other great options with much nicer staff read more

No Pepsi. Dam. SITREP To survive the night at SeaTac, I like to have my favorite soda of choice. Pepsi One is that item. But most retail shops - especially in SeaTac airport - do not have Pepsi products, let alone Pepsi One. THE SETUP However, in this instance, Hudson News does throw me a bone in that they do have Coke Zero, which is far better than Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. So for that, I'm grateful. Yeah, the 20 ounce bottles are not the best deal at $1.99 each. They are only $1 at my place of work. But we're not at my work. And, to be fair, I've seen them vended at stadiums or amusement parks for a full $3. So this is deal by comparison. THE LOWDOWN Hudson News carries a soda option I can handle that won't make me too cranky. read more

There are a few Hudsons in SEA, so it's tough to know which one this is. But they're all the same - high priced candies, soda and water plus books and magazines at full retail price. But if you need to get a "Sleepless in Seattle" nightie as a present when you've been in a conference all weekend and didn't have time to do a proper shop, then Hudson's the place for you! read more

Hudson News - Bookstores Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It's the store you can find in all the airports to find your last minute souvenirs or necessities for your flight. There's one at the S Gates. They were open late when we arrived at almost midnight and open early when we left at 6am. It's kind of like the ABC Store of the airport (people from Hawaii will understand and the rest of you will when you visit). They have smoked salmon in boxes, Seattle magnets, tons of magazines for the plane to keep you occupied and I even spotted some Hawaiian Host chocolates. It's always nice to see when there's a touch of Hawaii in the mainland. There's also the cheesy stuff like a Sleepless in Seattle sleeping shirt. And the important stuff like phone chargers, medications, snacks, etc. Definitely peruse this place if you have time. read more

Generally, airport bookstores are pretty sad...a wall of magazines, a rack of business books and tons of paperbacks that appeal to the lowest common denominator (aka 10 million copies of 50 Shades of Gray or Marley and Me or whatever drivel is popular). This bookstore has all of that, but goes above and beyond by adding in a fairly robust travel section (surprising how few airport stock this!) full of Lonely Planet guides. There's also a pretty decent selection of general non fiction, and a whole section of classics. That's right...Jane Austin, Charles Dickens and an unabridged copy of Dumas' Count of Monte Cristo at about 1400 pages. Color me impressed. Look - you're going to be in the air for a good long while. Is that Cosmo or People magazine really going to cut it? This bookstore offers some great alternatives to the norm, and yes they do have your 50 Shades (if you must). read more

Popped into the store near N2. Great they have grapes and other healthier options, but really not worth the risk. Grapes should be firm crisp and delicious. These are packed so tight it they were mostly soft and squishy. Not my first attempt..they should either use a larger container, or put less in the one they use. If this is a thing for you like it is for me, you probably want to make another selection. Service was good. read more

This is the Hudson in the C Terminal. By far the best magazine selection at seatac. I travel a lot. This might have the best mag selection of any airport. From soldier of fortune to The Nation to Real Simple to New Jersey Bride to Hustler, its got most mainstream niches covered. And unlike most things at the airport, there is no additional mark-up on mags. read more

Bought a wrap and got to my plane- took a couple bites and it tasted bad. Unwrapped it and the lettuce was black. Still had a couple days before expiration but it was nasty. They have no customer service number and tell you to email their Parent company. They know often we won't get a chance to return things in the airport so they serve crap at a high cost. Don't buy pre-made food here!!! read more

These are at every airport and hard to stand out. They are a great place to go if you're looking for a snack (chips, candy, soda, Gatorade, water, nuts, etc). Be prepared to pay ballpark/concert prices for these items (not quite, but you get the idea). They have a good selection of last minute souvenirs in case you're looking for a pen, keychain or stuffed animal. They also have a good selection of the most current pro/college local sports team for you to grab for the fan at home. Staff at this location was fine, didn't stand out nor did they do anything wrong. It's not a bad store, but be prepared to spend a few $$ if you get anything here. read more

If there's one thing consistent about American airports, it's Hudson News. This one is just about as good or bad as most ones I've been to. Of course, they sell local sports merch and other souvenirs, along with the typical books, magazines, and drinks/sandwiches. read more

$9.99 for 24 count Advil, that is $4.99 in town. That's not convenience, that's straight-up robbery. Then he tried to chat me up like we were buddies and I was stone faced. I don't like you to think that I don't know that you are taking advantage of me when you're taking advantage of me. Just ignore me and we'll be fine. Weird dude. Lear elsewhere please. read more

The selection isn't extensive but the variety for what they have is perhaps so. Just poked in here for some energy bars.

On 12/30/2019 at 8:48 AM Seattle, Store # 01498 REG: 004 Cashier: Amran. Customer service/kindness training would not go amiss at Hudson Group. While stopping to grab water, fruit and a sandwich, my husband approched Ms. Amran's register to ask where the water was, and she briskly said, "over in the cooler," with a exasperated tone. Ignoring that, we then whet to check out. As she was helping a man with his 4 bottles of waters, he had to ask for a bag, which she handed to him without saying anything, but did it as if she was mad. He took the bag and had to do it himself. We looked at each other not sure what was going on. Then it was our turn. As she started to ring us up, she told me she could not touch that box (pointing to my boxed sandwich.) Pausing to understand what was going on, I asked her, "You can't touch my box?" She said, "no." There was no use of polite words; no please, thank you, or even hello. After I scanned my own item, I paid, and then I too had to ask for a bag for my items. This seemed to really make her mad. As I turned away she said, "Why you look at me with ugly eyes?" Turing back, I said, "What?" She said, while helping the next customer, "You look rude." I turned the the other cashier lady and asked if she was the manager? She said no. I asked if there was a manager. She again said no. I had to ask keep asking her for assistance because she just stood there not being helpful at all. I walked over to Ms. Amran and took a picture of her name tag, which she proudly held up high for me to see, once she saw what I was doing. This whole exchange was done in front of many customers, and I assume security cameras can verify the whole exchange. Well, with many other shops at the airport to choose from I am shocked at the lack of customer service training at the Hudson store and will be taking our money elsewhere. read more

Surprisingly, this Hudson is open pretty darn late and one of the few hangouts when you're on late flight out of Concourse A.

Everything you could need to keep you busy in the air. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. No additional markups like others have said. From snacks and books, to drinks and mags they truly had it all. read more

Poor service, I asked the person who was checking inventory if they had any dried fruits she said around there. The stuff she pointed to was fruit snacks far from dry fruits. I figured she was busy and I continued to look with my friend. Then we decided to ask again since we walked around and thought maybe we are just missing it. You know it could be right under our nose and we don't realize it. This time when we asked she was not kind and face a little huff attitude. She told her there and there. I said we don't see it. She just ignore us after and continued with her inventory on the step ladder. I tried to see her name but couldn't so I took a picture of this no customer service person. She could just say we don't have dried fruits or say I am not sure what you are looking for but this is all we have in fruit snacks. read more

Value: 2 Customer Service: 5 Quality: 4 The prices here are outrageous, but what can you expect at an airport! I recommend avoiding the tourist trap items, and sticking with a magazine if you need one. read more

Hudson News is a staple in any airport. It may be named something else but it's the little corner store that will carry basics you'd want.. and for a high mark-up. But what can you do when you need some water as you wait for your flight? Only one cashier worked and line was a bit long. Add another cashier when it's a busy time to reduce wait time. read more

Located inside security screening. Has a great selection of NorthWest specific foods n cooking supplements n kids stuffs n wine n chocolates n coffees etc. Great for last minute gift shopping. read more

Why no snickers!?? Haha seriously though, friendly staff, and a mostly adequate selection of treats. I shop at a lot of Hudson News stores nation wide and Seattle seems to be he only one I can't buy the bag of snickers snack sized. If they could fix that and perhaps speed up checkout times it would be a better experience. read more

Be sure to give this place 0 star I ordered the chicken sandwich combo, I was waiting for 20 minutes,finally I asked one of the servers she said two minutes, and I wait for another 5 minuets, I said can I cancel it ? Cuz I have no time to wait. She's really slowly doing my refund just like my grandpa, and asked me to fill out information? WTH!? Can she understand English! I said I don't have time. When I leaving I hearted she said you're so rude! And I wanna said you're extremely slow! If you don't know how to do fast service in airport go somewhere. They are so rude for Asian customers, and they're so messy seems they can not work together. read more

EXPIRED DRAMAMINE. Three months past its expiration date. Last Thursday, November 1, my husband and I were at the N gate Hudson news store to purchase Dramamine. Trusting the store, we did not look at the expiration date until our return flight home and we found out that it expired 3 months ago. If you buy any type of drug, cold medicine, etc., make sure you double check the expiration date. Not a happy camper especially since we paid almost double what we would've paid in the store. read more
