Accessible and ADA Parking
Daily and hourly parking
ADA-designated parking stalls are available in both General Parking on Level 5, and in Reserved Parking on Level 4 and 5. Individual ADA stalls are not reservable, and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. ADA stalls are located in General Parking on Level 5 near the purple, orange, and blue elevators, and in Reserved Parking near the each elevator on Level 4 and near the yellow and green elevators on Level 5.
Vehicles properly displaying valid disabled permit identification may use these stalls. Posted rates for General Parking apply; advance reservations are required to access and park in Reserved Parking.
Once at the airport for garage parkers:
Park in the ADA-designated spaces on either Level 4 or 5 of the airport parking garage. Please contact Prospect Airport Services at (206) 246-1550 upon your arrival to arrange wheelchair assistance.
Disabled Parking for over-height vehicles:
A wheelchair-accessible path through the first floor of the garage to the Main Terminal (via elevator) is available from the SEA Over-height Vehicle Parking area. The best option is to drop off passengers near the elevator and park afterward. To access this parking area, use Highway 99 / International Boulevard from the north or south.
- Enter the airport from South 182nd St. off of Highway 99 / International Boulevard and make your way into the left lane (following daily parking signs).
- Stay in the left lane and curve to the left, then follow the signs to over-height parking (which at this point should be in front of you and to the right).
- At the entry plaza, use the open lane on the far right and take a ticket from the machine.
- After the gate opens, drive in and park in any of the 60-plus stalls in the outdoor area.
- Take your ticket with you, because you will pay for parking at one of the exit, press machines located on the 4th floor of the garage before returning to your vehicle.
- Daily parking rates apply.
- Take your paid ticket back to your car and use it to exit.
Personal Vehicle Drop-Off
Loading areas are marked with blue signs and located along the drives. The curbs along the upper and lower drives at SEA for departures and arrivals are being updated to meet current code requirements for accessibility, both by creating curb cuts or eliminating the curb altogether.
If in need of wheelchair service to the ticketing counter, please contact Prospect Airport Services at (206) 246-1550 upon your arrival. For wheelchair service from the ticketing counter to your gate, please contact your airline directly to make a reservation prior to your arrival at the airport. Visit the Airline Accessibility Page for airline contact information. Airlines coordinate wheelchair services from ticket counters to departure gates, and from arrival gates to the baggage claim.

Ride App providers are allowed to do passenger pick up on the drives for customers who need additional assistance. When requesting pick up from Uber or Lyft, the passenger can tell their driver that they need to be picked up on the drive and either one of them can contact our Ground Transportation team to inform the staff of this pick up by phone at (206) 787-5906 with the driver's name and license plate number.
Customers can also coordinate with SEA's wheelchair service provider for assistance and guidance to the rideshare area or the curb for pick up. Customers can coordinate with Prospect Airport Services by phone at (206) 246-1550.
Public Transportation
Many of the scheduled public transit buses on airport routes are lift-equipped. Please contact Metro accessible services, Sound Transit accessibility or the Ground Transportation Booth (at the 3rd floor of the Parking Garage, or (206) 787-5312) for further information.
The airport is also served by Link Light Rail. Free shuttle service is provided between the SeaTac/Airport station and the airport terminal.

Contact your ground transportation provider directly for information on available lift-equipped van service. Many hotels also have courtesy van shuttles that can pick up on the baggage claim level (lower drive) for individuals with disabilities; for more information, contact your hotel.
Curbside Services
Some airlines do offer curbside check-in during peak periods. Travelers should check directly with their airline about check-in services. There is no parking or waiting allowed on the airport drives. Vehicles left unattended, even if the driver is nearby, will be ticketed and towed. A good alternative to loading and unloading on the drives is to use the Airport Garage.
