Smoking Policy at Seattle–Tacoma Airport (SEA)

Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is committed to maintaining a completely smoke-free indoor environment. Smoking, vaping, and the use of e-cigarettes are strictly prohibited inside all terminals, including restrooms, dining areas, and airline lounges. This policy aligns with Washington State’s Clean Indoor Air Act.

Designated Outdoor Smoking Zones:

• Smoking is allowed only in two clearly designated outdoor areas at the Main Terminal, pre-security, offering accessibility while ensuring compliance with health regulations:
• North End of Lower Drive: Located adjacent to the stairway across from the small parking lot near Door 00, in the Baggage Claim zone.
• South End of Lower Drive: Positioned near Door 5 and Door 29, within close reach of check-in counters and terminal access points.

Both zones are open 24/7, clearly marked with signage, and equipped with ashtrays to support proper disposal and maintain a clean space. Smoking is not allowed within 25 feet of any entrance, window, or air ventilation intake, helping protect travelers and staff from secondhand smoke.

Important Information:

• SEA offers no indoor or airside smoking facilities.
• All post-security areas and airline lounges, including the Alaska Lounge, Delta Sky Club, and The Club at SEA, are entirely smoke-free.
• While duty-free shops may sell tobacco products, use is restricted to the designated outdoor areas only.

SEA appreciates your cooperation in keeping the airport clean and smoke-free. Please plan accordingly and use only approved zones if you need to smoke.
