How the on-site lots compare at SEA
The cheapest on-airport long-term option at SEA works for trips of four days or more, where the per-day savings outweigh the shuttle wait. For one- to three-day trips, the daily terminal garage is usually the better total-time call once you factor in the shuttle to and from a long-term lot.
Hourly parking is for pickups and meetings of less than four hours; rates climb steeply after the first hour at every airport. The cell phone waiting lot is free and is the right place to wait for an arriving passenger — pulling to the arrivals curb early forces you into a recirculation loop that at busy hubs like SEA can cost 15–25 minutes.
Off-airport parking near SEA
Independent operators within a few miles of SEA typically undercut on-airport economy by $3–$8 per day. The trade-off is shuttle frequency.
| Lot | Daily rate | Shuttle |
|---|---|---|
| WallyPark SEA | $18/day | Every 10 minutes, 24/7 |
| Doug Fox Park & Fly | $17/day | Every 10 minutes |
| MasterPark SEA | $21/day | Valet handoff, 24/7 |
Rideshare and ground transportation
Uber and Lyft pick up on the third floor of the parking garage at column-marked rideshare zones. Drop-offs are unrestricted at the departures curb.

Accessible parking at SEA
Accessible spaces are reserved on every level of the on-site garages at SEA and are the closest spaces to each terminal entrance. A valid disability placard or plate is required. Wheelchair-accessible shuttle service is available from the long-term and economy lots — request it from any shuttle driver or via the airport's accessibility line.
