At SEA, you can walk between A, B, C and D after security. Take the airside train for N or S. Checkpoints 1 through 6 lead to all gates. The IAF Transfers checkpoint is only for connecting international arrivals and exits into A Concourse. Our terminal page lists all six concourses.

Before you choose a place

Tight connection: If you’re going to N, board the Green Line at C or D. If you’re going to S, board the Blue Line at A or B. The Yellow Line joins A and D stations. All three trains stay inside security. If you leave the secure area, our security page shows the checkpoints for your return.

Water: Bring an empty bottle through screening. Our water refill guide lists stations by A2 and A4, B3, B8 and B9, C2 and C3, and D1, D3 and D5, plus the D Annex and D21. In N, look by N1, N8/N9, N13 or N20, on the mezzanine or train platform. In S, use S7 or S10. The Central Terminal has stations by Hudson and Koi Shi Sushi.

Find every listed place by concourse

The gate numbers below are landmarks, not storefront addresses. All concourse and Central Terminal entries are after security. A few listings don’t name menu items or goods, and some omit hours. Check the branch you want: its hours may differ from another branch with the same name.

Find places without a mapped gate

Our food directory lists these places after security but gives no gate or concourse landmark. Open the listing or the Port of Seattle’s airport map to locate them before walking. Do not rely on a concourse guess.

  • Location not given: Buy: Cupcake Royale (cupcakes, ice cream, Puff coffee, Rachel’s Ginger Beer and Salt & Straw products, daily 06:00–21:00), Transcend (goods not listed, daily 07:00–19:00), Emerald City Market (electronics, gifts, souvenirs and toiletries, daily 04:00–22:30).

Check again if a place is closed

Poke To The Max has conflicting opening times within its own directory entry. You can’t count on the earlier time without asking there.

These listings don’t show item prices. For duty free, check your eligibility and destination allowance with the seller before paying.

For a before-security purchase from N or S, allow for the train back and another security screening. Our security wait guide covers busy periods, and the checkpoint page gives listed hours.
