Reserve parking at Sea-Tac Airport

SEATAC, Wash. - Flying out of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and planning to park? Travelers can now reserve and pay for their parking in advance.

According to a news release Tuesday, the Port of Seattle said the new reservation-only parking option on Floor 4 — called Reserved Parking — will "provide added peace of mind for travelers." Drive-up parking on the floor, previously known as Terminal Direct, will no longer be available.

"Reserved Parking is something travelers have repeatedly asked for over the past few years. We’re excited to launch a new product that will guarantee space for customers when they get to SEA, and improve their overall travel experience," said Stephanie Nelson, senior manager, aviation commercial management. "We expect Reserved Parking reservations to fill up fast for the upcoming Spring Break period, so we encourage travelers to plan ahead now. As the busy travel season picks up, we believe this will be a really convenient parking option that people can rely on."

Travelers who want to take advantage of Reserved Parking can create an online account to manage upcoming reservations, modify or cancel existing reservations and see prior transaction history.
