Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (IATA: SEA, ICAO: KSEA, FAA LID: SEA), also known as Sea-Tac Airport, is located in SeaTac, Washington, United States at the intersections of State Route 518, State Route 99 and State Route 509, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of Interstate 5. It serves Seattle and Tacoma, Washington as well as the rest of western Washington. The airport is a hub for Alaska Airlines, whose headquarters is located near the airport, and its regional subsidiary Horizon Air. The airport has service to several destinations throughout North America, Europe and East Asia.
"Welcome to Sea-Tac!" is said in an automated announcement in the airport's parking garage and skyways, in reference to the nickname that locals of the Seattle metropolitan area have given it. The name came before the city of SeaTac, Washington was founded.
In 2008 Sea-Tac served nearly 32.2 million passengers, making it the 18th busiest airport in the United States. It ranks 25th in total aircraft operations and 19th in total cargo volume.
The top five carriers at Sea-Tac in number of passengers carried in 2008 were Alaska Airlines (34.2%), Horizon Air (14.2%), Southwest Airlines (8.9%), United Airlines (7.4%), and Northwest Airlines (6.9%)
