The article is behind a paywall, but Straits Times reports:
“If all goes well, Seattle will become SIA's fourth non-stop destination to the US, as the airline moves to capitalise on a growing demand for Singapore-US flights and the availability of a new, more fuel-efficient aircraft - the Airbus 350-900.”

Looks like we might see that fourth nonstop destination after all!
Still, it’s a huge amount of capacity being pumped into the US market. While there’s no doubt Singapore and Seattle have strong tech ties, I do wonder SIA is making a preemptive move to keep Delta from launching SEA-SIN as they continue to wind down their intra Asia ops by 2020.
