    Entrance
    David P.

    Whoa, this lounge is huge! Check-in went fine with a day pass that I had written down the code for. You can use other people's passes and there is definitely a secondhand market for them, since people get passes from vouchers or their credit cards. There is a hot food buffet in the middle and a bar on one side. I was there for breakfast and they also had a coffee bar with a holiday special (the peppermint mocha). The breakfast offering was pretty standard; I'd compare it to a hotel breakfast. The cappuccino was decently strong, a good surprise. The bar does need to see the second person if you're getting two drinks. They had six local beers on tap while I was there and I enjoyed the Reuben Hazealicious IPA. Most seating have hidden outlets somewhere. I ended up at a high table near the bar and the outlets were under the table. The bathrooms were surprisingly small? At least the one near the entrance I went to. Overall, solid value for less than $20 if you're there for an hour or two, wouldn't go at ticket price.

    Not a Seattlite, but have been to this lounge a few times before catching a longhaul flight to Asia, most recently the SEA-ICN route on Hawaiian Air's B787 Leihōkū Suites. Although this lounge can get crowded, we had no issues finding seating, and moving when even better seating opened up! The bathrooms are well maintained, the bar is well stocked, and the view for planespotting is great. I'm a fan of the dark wood interior as well, but I can see it being a bit drab on a cloudy day. The complimentary handcrafted espresso drink bar is lovely too, and I appreciate that all Alaska lounges offer this (I run on coffee, don't @ me bro) Pro-tip, if you have the Atmos Summit card, you get 2 (at least *wink wink*) of the card-exclusisive Summit Sunset cocktails, which is a Woodford Reserve bourbon cocktail. I don't drink, but my hubs does, so he really enjoyed them! Lots of people at the bar were asking about the drink, so it felt pretty cool to order them! I do find Alaska's lounge much less crowded than the Amex Centurion Lounge, although I would say there's more food options at the latter.

    Comfortable and spacious place to spend a few hours before a flight. We went on a Thursday at around two and almost every window seat was taken, but there was still more than enough seating with comparable views. The look of the lounge is modern and spacious which provides a nice contrast to the busy outside airport. Good complimentary drink selection - we had a local cider and local wine, both delicious. The buffet was Korean themed on the day we went - while it is not the best food I've ever had in my life it was perfectly edible. I did particularly enjoy the green beans, of all things. Lots of options for grab and go snacks, too, and they had a soda machine like Taco Time/the movies which I appreciated. The bathrooms were also clean and quiet and nice, which I appreciated for an airport.

    Very comfortable spot to work and hang out while waiting for your flight. Unfortunately the food isn't very good. Baked goods are not that fresh. Meal options are limited and bland (make your own pancake machine? Come on!). They do have a soda machine and espresso bar as well as free drinks (drunk people won't complain?). Relaxing areas to sit, work, and wait lift up the overall rating to 3 stars but not a great value for your money.

    For Alaska Lounge standards, the North Satellite location is most deserving of its flagship status as an oasis in the chaos that is Sea-Tec airport. WIth its tall ceilings, modern decor, and nearly 16,000 sq ft of open layout space, it is indeed a comfortable retreat before boarding any flight. Seasoned lounge goers may balk at the lack of premium options, but trust this is still a good overall lounge that's worth a visit. There was a time when Priority Pass was accepted here, which only meant the lounge was as crowded as the rest of the airport during peak daytime hours. That has since subsided, resulting in a more relaxing time during the bustling mornings and the low key evening service. The communal tables and high-back chairs give a nice contemporary touch that actually resembles a lounge, along with cozy nooks near their central fireplace which is perfect for the views of the tarmac. The food offerings aren't particularly impressive for a flagship lounge, but it more substantial than the average snack tray and plentiful enough to enjoy different meals throughout the various breakfast, lunch, and dinner service. The hour between lunch and dinner (4:30-5:00pm) is my favorite time to dine, since the shift change makes for a nice selection of hot and cold foods. Their soups are my favorite, especially the creamy chicken barley and wild rice. I could bottle it up and take it home. Their bar is nice and large, with a nice variety of spirits, regional wines, and a dozen local beers on tap. It is the most social area of the entire space and the bartenders and local staff are usually the best part. Imbibe enough and one will find that the bathrooms are on the smaller side, but at least the non-alcoholic options (#1) are more abundant than anything else. Even when my flights are delayed, I find solace with plenty of snacking, a little drinking, and lots of indulgent sessions with their ultra-fast WiFi. It's not the world's most bougie lounge, but more than does the job for yours truly. ____________ (#1) Read: an excellent all-in-one soda / juice machine along with a full on coffee bar and some serious barista action.

    We like this lounge - nice bar and good food. The staff is always smiling and friendly. It's always fun to watch the planes as we wait.

    Dirty seats
    Sandra D.

    I am stunned at how filthy this lounge is. Dirty seats, grimy tables, and an overall lack of cleanliness make it hard to believe I paid $600 to sit in this kind of environment. What makes it even more frustrating is that the staff seem quick to approach and disrupt you over the smallest things, yet somehow haven't found the time to actually clean the place. I've been up since 3 a.m., and I was hoping for even a brief moment to close my eyes. Instead, in less than an hour, I was woken up twice by staff for pointless reasons. If they spent half as much time cleaning as they do hovering and harassing tired travelers, maybe the lounge wouldn't feel so neglected. Overall, this was a complete waste of money and one of the most disappointing lounge experiences I've ever had.

    I had two but that would be tacky to take pics of both of them.  Amy was a great bartender.

    Food was better than you would get for a complimentary breakfast at a hotel. Amy our bartender was super and explained some of our benefits. Love the chill morning lounge vibes. Just what we needed for a few minutes after a crowded I5 and the security nonsense.

    Alaska air lounge located above N gate has over 16,000 ft.² of space. This is their flagship location. Did you know that you'll feel like you are in heaven when visiting here? A boujee yelper back in the 808 wrote about this lounge. I had see and experience this on my own. So I decided to make a visit on one of my trips. They have self served foods, but a lot was out when I visited so I'm docking a star for that. Service at the bar was good. They are cashless. Bring cash to tip.

    When you take the train to the N concourse the Alaska Lounge is just take a left and up the escalator. This is a brand new lounge with espresso, bar, food, rest rooms and I think there's a shower too. We always use this lounge when we're travelling with Alaska Air as many flights leave this terminal.

    A happy customer entering the Alaska Lounge.

    Does the Alaska Lounge still do day passes? Also, how busy/full is it in the morning? We will be there at 9 AM PST on a Sunday, and I am curious as to what our chances of getting in are?

    They do! $59 day pass per person, however if it's busy, you will only be allowed on the South or North Satellite lounge, the main lounge is usually pretty busy 9am-7pm, and priority passes may be excluded.… Read more

Currently it looks and feels pretty run down and beat up. Interestingly they've clearly done a remodel in the past 10 years or so because the bathroom has a totally different vibe than the rest of the place - I wish they had kept the old vibe, the bathroom is bright, clean, and modern - while the rest of the place is going for a "cozy" vibe I think, but it just doesn't hit. I'm looking forward to seeing what the remodel/extension turns out to be and hopefully improving my rating. This time through they did have cookies and chips alongside the small soup bar which was an improvement as last time they only had some odd soups and pastas which I wasn't into.

    This lounge is ok... The men's shower has been nonfunctional for months (seriously, how hard is it…read moreto get someone out to fix it?!) and so has the espresso machine. You can only get pre-brewed drip coffee here. I went during lunch. They updated their soups to to winder vegetable soup and creamy Thai chicken & rice soup, while there's still teriyaki tofu rice and chicken and vegetable rice. There is a choice of two salads: kale based and spring mix based. If you're feeling a little bit indulgent, potato chips and dip are available as is chocolate pudding. There are also the requisite chocolate chip cookies. Large picture windows reveal airplane hangers and Mt. Rainer in the background. The lighting is much better than the other lounge.

It's a decent sized lounge, and the seats are comfortable. They have big picture windows that look out onto the tarmac. The food selection was OK. It was breakfast time, and they had mini omelettes,(filled with the pre-processed cheese stuff, but they still tasted OK): they had pancakes, which were good, and then they had things such as cereal yogurt, yogurt, parfaits, bagels, fruit, muffins, etc. juice, coffee, Nothing fancy, but decent. There were a few glitches. They have charging, but the charging ports are at the very bottom almost underneath the chairs. Kind of hard to get to, especially if you have a bad back. I just waited until I got onto the plane to charge my gear. Fortunately, the plane had chargers that worked. I wanted a latte, but the espresso machine was broken. . They have a full bar. I asked the bartender to make me a virgin bloody Mary, and it was very good. But when I went back, it was the same bartender, I asked him for another virgin, bloody Mary, one sip, and this time, I could tell that he had inadvertently put alcohol into it. No bueno. Please be more careful. I took it back and switched out to a soda instead. Probably the biggest detail, was that the showers weren't working. I really wanted to freshen up, I had just flown in from Sacramento, (and boy, were my arms tired... :) and I was getting ready to get. Onto my next flight, which was a 12 hour flight. Nope. The showers were down also. That's a big thing that they advertise in this club. Why not fix them at night time when the club is closed? I I was fortunate to get a shower when I got to my next destination, because after my 12 hour flight, I had one more five hour flight on to my final destination. Overall, it's a good club. I would stop here again, and hopefully the next time, they will have the glitches worked out. Thanks.
