Pro Tips
- Beecher's flagship cheese is made at Pike Place Market in Seattle. The complimentary cheese plate is one of the best lounge snacks in the country.
- Mac & Jack's African Amber is an unfiltered amber ale brewed in Redmond, WA. It is the quintessential Pacific Northwest craft beer.
- On clear days, the window seats offer views of Mount Rainier, the Olympic Mountains, and Puget Sound. Seattle mornings tend to be cloudier than afternoons.
- If this lounge hits capacity, the N Satellite Alaska Lounge is connected via the underground train and is often less crowded.
