About Seattle-Tacoma

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is the primary hub for Alaska Airlines and a significant base for Delta. It operates two closely spaced parallel runways that, under instrument conditions, must be treated as a single runway, significantly reducing capacity. Seattle's location in the Pacific Northwest means low cloud and rain are common, and the airport sits in an area prone to occasional winter ice storms that can shut the airport entirely.
