Located in the spectacular Pacific Northwest and in the shadow of majestic 14,000 foot Mt. Rainier, SeaTac International Airport is the region’s largest and most sophisticated air passenger and air cargo transportation hub, providing connections as well as non stop services to major US destinations as well as to Canada and the Pacific Rim. At ground level, a key to SeaTac’s operating success is the quality and extensive services provided by SeaTac airport parking facilities.

Located directly southwest of Seattle, SeaTac International Airport can be reached via Interstate 5 to exit 154, after which you’ll continue west on Route 518 until reaching the airport entry road way which is clearly posted. As a travel planning suggestion consider an online check of weather, traffic conditions, construction delays, and overall airport parking space availability by connecting to Washington State Dept of Transportation.

Due to user demand levels as you approach the SeaTac Airport parking garage, you may encounter slight delays along the main airport drive due to an influx of parked cars dropping off and picking up passengers from the adjacent terminals. Unattended cars pose a safety hazard and potential security risk to surrounding flow traffic, accordingly curbside airport parking is not allowed on the airport drive concourse.
Long term on airport parking at SeaTac is located at levels 4-8 in the parking garage. The 24-hour rate for long term airport parking at SeaTac is $20.00 per vehicle. Travelers who will be leaving a vehicle for more the 30 days will need to make special arrangements with the SeaTac airport parking administration in order to ensure that your vehicle is not mistaken for an abandoned or stolen vehicle. In order to streamline your SeaTac Airport parking, you can take advantage of SeaTac’s automated airport parking payment system which allows you to buy in advance a SeaTac airport parking coupon.
