The shuttle departure area is located near the 'colorful spinning circles' on the 5th floor. The shuttle service operates 24/7 and runs frequently, with waiting times typically under 10 minutes. The shuttle will drop you off at the airport terminals, with stops at the North Satellite, South Satellite, and Main Terminal. The shuttle ride takes approximately 5-7 minutes. Be aware that the shuttle drops off passengers at the arrivals level (Level 2) of the terminals, which is below the airline ticketing levels (Level 3). To get to your airline's ticketing area, simply take the escalators or elevators up one level to Level 3. The SeaTac Rental Car Facility is located at 18200 International Blvd, SeaTac, WA 98188, and is about a 5-minute shuttle ride from the airport terminals.

Temporary exhibits rotate — verify current installations on portseattle.org day-of-travel; construction in 2026 may reroute gallery walkways.
