Sea-Tac Projects
Update on Escalator Replacement at Sea-Tac
The escalator replacement project at Sea-Tac Airport is now in the second phase. The Port of Seattle advises travelers that their normal routes to and from the parking garage and the main terminal may be affected. Watch for signs and personnel to direct you to alternate routes. During the course of this two-year project, which began in August, the port will replace 42 escalators through the airport and install two new ones in the south satellite. Learn more about the project.
- The installation of new escalators at sky bridges 2 and 4 is complete. Both sky bridges are open and fully functional to/from the ticketing and bag claim levels in the terminal.
- The escalators at sky bridges 3 and 5 are now closed. Both sky bridges will remain open but passengers will need to use elevators and stairs rather than escalators.
- This phase of the project is scheduled to be completed in late March 2012.
- Work on replacing the first of three escalators leading from the train station to the mezzanine in the airport’s south satellite is scheduled to start in mid-December. A new escalator also will be installed at this location.
Security
CheckpointsThe security checkpoints are managed by the
Transportation Security Administration. There are four main checkpoints at Sea-Tac and a fifth that is opened as needed during peak periods (see checkpoint locations on
Main Terminal map). Travelers can reach their gates from any checkpoint. The central checkpoint is open 24/7. The opening times for the north and south checkpoints are determined by the airlines' schedules for that day.
Security Measures
Security procedures vary for domestic and international flights and by carrier. Up-to-date information is available on the TSA
website. Travelers with questions should check directly with their
airline.
