SEA has ADA stalls in General Parking on Floors 1, 3, 5 and 7. Floor 4 has ADA stalls in Reserved Parking, but you need a reservation to enter that floor. The over-height lot has four ADA stalls for vehicles too tall for the garage. Display valid disabled permit identification. You pay the rate for the area where you park.

If walking through the garage will be hard, call Prospect Airport Services at (206) 246-1550 when you arrive. The Port of Seattle says it can provide a free wheelchair from the garage to your airline’s ticket counter. Arrange help beyond the counter with your airline before you travel.

Pick the parking area before you drive in

Your vehicle and plan Where to go What to know
Fits under 6 feet 10 inches, with no reservation General Parking, Floors 1, 3, 5 or 7 Drive up and use an open ADA stall. Floor 5’s stalls surround the elevator lobbies. General rates are $8 hourly, $37 daily or $222 weekly.
Fits under 6 feet 10 inches, with a Floor 4 booking Reserved Parking, Floor 4 Book at least six hours before entry. A reservation guarantees a parking space, not an ADA stall. ADA stalls are first come, first served. Reserved Parking costs $47 per 24-hour period. If you stay past your booking, the overstay rate is $10 per hour, up to the daily maximum.
Taller than 6 feet 10 inches Over-height Vehicle Parking Use the 78-stall outdoor lot. It fills regularly. General Parking rates apply.

You can book Floor 4 up to 120 days ahead, subject to availability. Change or cancel your booking up to six hours before entry. Pay online, then scan the confirmation QR code to enter and leave the garage.

Staffed exit lanes take cash or cards. Exit-lane machines and garage Floor 4 machines take cards. If you lose your ticket, ask the cashier staff at the exit plaza for help. You’ll pay at least the daily rate for the area where you parked.

Leaving your vehicle for more than 30 days? Reserve online or arrange it with the Public Parking Office at (206) 787-4069. Without that arrangement, the airport may treat the vehicle as abandoned and tow it at your expense.

If an available stall won’t meet your needs, call the drive-up parking office at (206) 787-5308 or Reserved Parking at (206) 787-4888 before committing to another area.

From the garage to the terminal

Follow signs to garage Level 4. Skybridges 1–6 join that level to the Main Terminal on Level 4, before security. If you parked in Reserved Parking on Floor 4, you are already on the skybridge level. Ticketing is on terminal Level 5.

The Port of Seattle’s airport map marks wheelchair assistance points before security at Doors 7, 9, 17, 23 and 27, and at Skybridge 5.

If screening itself needs extra support, TSA says you can request a Passenger Support Specialist through TSA Cares at least 72 hours before departure. TSA does not provide airport wheelchairs.

If your vehicle is over height

For a taller vehicle, enter the over-height lot from South 182nd Street off Highway 99 / International Boulevard. Follow the daily-parking signs into the left lane, curve left, then follow the over-height signs. At the entry plaza, use the open lane on the far right and take a ticket. The lot is outdoors and first come, first served.

If you need the shorter transfer, the Port of Seattle recommends getting dropped off near the elevator before your driver parks. Its accessible route goes through the garage’s first floor to the Main Terminal by elevator.

Keep your ticket with you. Before returning to the vehicle, pay at a garage pay machine on Floor 4. Take the paid ticket back to the lot to exit.

An off-site lot with an accessible shuttle

At 2626 South 170th Street, Doug Fox Parking is an off-site lot. Its on-demand shuttle picks you up and drops you off at your parked car, so you don’t have to walk to a shuttle stop. Request an ADA-accessible shuttle at (206) 248-2956. On your return, catch it at the garage Level 3 courtesy islands: 1A–1D or 3A–3C. Get a price for your dates before booking. Doug Fox Parking lists no fixed rate.
