SEATTLE - There is more relief for airline passengers coming to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Monday as security checkpoint 6 finally reopens following months of renovations.
Just in time for the busy holiday season, and days before Thanksgiving travel begins to ramp up, SEA formally reopened the checkpoint five months after previously opening a new checkpoint back in June.
Checkpoint 6 at SEA Airport
What's next:
Checkpoint 6 was temporarily closed for a year for construction as part of the SEA Gateway Project, an effort to expand screening capacity and improve passenger flow through the terminal. The redesigned checkpoint adds the following:
- Larger space with more efficient layout
- Expanded recompose area
- New furniture
- Digital wayfinding
- Infrastructure improvements
- Enhanced security screening operations
Checkpoint 6 will have general, pre-check and CLEAR lines and is north of Checkpoint 5 at the west side of the pre-security area.

The improvements are part of the SEA Gateway Project.
