The @portofseattle.bsky.social is grateful to all of the federal employees who kept things going at SEA Airport with minimal impact to operations during the government shutdown.

As of Monday AM, we continue to see normal ops at SEA, no significant delays to security wait times. We appreciate our federal workers that continue to work throughout the government shutdown. Travelers, please check-in with your airline for flight status before coming to SEA.

Status of SEA on Nov. 7: With the air traffic reductions starting today we know many of you are wondering about what that means for your upcoming travels and what you might see here at SEA.

Statement regarding FAA announcement:

Meet Tuck, a Dalmatian & certified therapy dog, & newest member of SEA Pups. Tuck and his handler Lynn Gonzalez are one of nine certified therapy teams offering comfort to travelers and airport staff. Some fun facts about SEA’s fave spotted comfort companion: www.portseattle.org/blog/spottin...

Need a last-minute essential before your flight? The Wmzy vending machine in Central Terminal has you covered with travel-sized meds and personal care must-haves!

The ongoing federal government shutdown means many essential federal workers — including TSA officers, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, and air traffic controllers — have been working without pay since Oct.1.

Traffic advisory: There is a short overnight closure for the upper Departures Drive from midnight to 4 a.m. All traffic will be routed to the lower Arrivals Drive. Travelers only have to go up one level to ticketing and the security checkpoints.

A heartfelt "thank you" to all the TSA, CBP, and FAA workers at SEA who are continuing to work through the government shutdown. As of today, security checkpoint wait times are still under our goal of less than 20 minutes. Be aware things can change.

Things that make us happy! 💚

Spotted at SEA.👻

Remembering loved ones and celebrating life. SEA travelers marked Día de los Muertos with butterfly notes, live music, and art — thanks to Consulate of Mexico in Seattle and Highline Heritage Museum for being part of it.

We’re excited to welcome our first two new year-round domestic nonstop routes since 2022, Arcata-Eureka, CA and Tulsa! Our region continues to be a popular destination across the country and around the world, and SEA is here to welcome all. news.alaskaair.com/destinations...

SEA’s getting spook-tacular this Friday! 👻 You might just spot some superheroes swinging, soaring, and saving the day across the concourses. Don’t miss a special appearance by Jett the SEA Otter near the Children’s Play Area!

Reminiscing on that golden moment last week when Andrew Choi — the singing voice of Jinu in K-Pop Demon Hunters on Netflix — surprised travelers and airport workers with a pop-up performance at N Concourse! 🎶

Back to the grind! #MondayMotivation Photo: @ flyseattle

Travelers can catch live music, sweet treats, and family fun this Thursday, Oct. 30, as we celebrate Día de los Muertos. Families, don’t miss the kid’s activity hosted by our friends at Highline Heritage Museum near the Children's Play Area on A Concourse!

Volunteer Becky Nickels makes sure the shelves of our Little Free Libraries stay filled so travelers always have something to read. If you have a book you’d love to pass along to other travelers, leave it in one of SEA’s LFLs the next time you fly.

N Concourse was K-poppin’ today! Travelers got a surprise performance from Andrew Choi — the singing voice of Jinu in Netflix’s K-Pop Demon Hunters — after he helped celebrate Alaska Airlines’ new nonstop flight to Seoul.

What’s your fave plen? 💚

Airports and wildlife can safely share the skies with a little teamwork. Recently, SEA’s wildlife biologist relocated several red-tailed hawks as part of the Raptor Strike Avoidance Program. Each bird is carefully captured, hooded, and shuttled to its new home in Skagit Co.

Jett’s game-day ready! 💚 We’re all in for the @mariners.com this postSEAson! 💙

Summers at SEA are busy. Sometimes it feels like the airport is measured in summers.

SEA remains fully open & operational. Travelers are encouraged to arrive at the airport at least 2 hours prior to a domestic flight & at least 3 hours prior to an international flight. We're working closely with our fed partners to keep operations as close to normal as possible.

Time to take off to bluer skies! #TowerTuesday Photo: @ ishaviation
