    It has been nearly 4 years since my 1st visit to USO Northwest. I have passed through SeaTac a few times along the way, but with the giant pandemic shutdown, sadly, the USO was closed when I wanted to visit. This facility is staffed 100% by volunteers. All of the food is donated by various restaurants and vendors. I suspect the airport may have donated the spaces in 2015. Thank you to the many volunteers that make this a welcome visit. Currently open till 0400 Monday through Thursday and on Saturday, they could use a few more volunteers to stay open 24/7. I must say, to the many young military travelers that pass through SeaTac and visit this facility while on layover, this sure beats staying at a gate and trying to sleep in a chair. With real bunks and a hot shower, hot food and drinks, *all free*, I wish I had something like this when I was still in uniform. If you have a desire to support our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines, your money couldn't be better spent than with the USO. Thanks again, I recommend

    I've volunteered many times at the Denver Airport, while active duty, and still currently active duty in the Northwest. So to me, this sight is disgraceful, and a disservice to our youth. This lack of consideration for our military is also a large reason why recruitment is at a severe low. It's nearly 7am on a Sunday and many military flights are booked "red eye" to save government funds. Yet, a dozen of our Soldiers and Sailors are left stranded sleeping on the floors like they're homeless. I'm enraged to say the least and will be forwarding this as public as possible. Really, NOON on a Sunday and closed Fridays? Active duty members are flying around the country for Monday morning work and deserve better than this! Let's get more volunteers to extend these hours!

    I'm always surprised when an establishment such as an USO hasn't been Yelped! It's your standard USO; and by standard I mean chock full of amenities for those with the proper access, to include everything from showers, a place to chill to computer/gaming use. I liked the expansive kid's play area and the temporary storage room for luggage, as well as the 'food court.' Also the all volunteer staff is friendly and helpful. The place to check out if you find yourself at Seatac.

    If the racks are full go to the theater room.

    This is a good place to stop and grab a quick bite, or even kick your feet up on a recliner chair. They have an area with bunk beds, but it is first come first serve. There are showers in the bathroom, and they have travel-sized toiletries if you need them. I highly reccomend this place. I know that everything in the USO is probably donated, but it would be nice if they replaced the recliner chairs. During my visit, I was able to sleep for 6 hours on a recliner chair in the theater room and freshen up before my flight. I was also able to eat and drink before my flight, and I also took something to go for my flight.

    Wonderful! Clean bathrooms, many cozy chairs, good variety of food, games, a kid/infant room, theater room, and great staff!

    Awesome chairs to sit in.

    Holy Hell. You know I remember going into a luxury boujie airport lounge before. I think it was some SkyMiles club or American Express BS. Whatever. But man I would never think they would have a contender being the damn USO. This is pretty awesome. Sure it's not luxury but it has all of your necessities. Of course you have to work for the government in order to access it. But damn! I'm not complaining! I remember being a young soldier with a 5 hour layover and walking into the USO thinking I'm in straight heaven. I had so many options I didn't know what to do! Even though that was like 4 years ago... I STILL FEEL THE SAME. This place has great amenities from showers, shaving supplies, loads of food, soda fountain and much more. All in all this USO is bomb peeps.

    What more could you ask for during a long layover or a pre-flight wait? My friend and I went here twice; we stopped in upon our initial arrival to Seattle after a long flight and again on the day we left. I have been to many USO locations across the country, but this one absolutely sets a high benchmark for service, comfort, and overall amenties! For starters, this is one of the few USO locations that is open 24 hours, which is an immensely convenient resource given the unpredictable and exhausting nature of air travel. Additionally, if you need to sleep, they have a room with bunk beds and linen, which is also something that most USO's simply don't have. Last but not least, in addition to recliner chairs, televisions, free Wi-Fi, computers with CAC readers, complementary food and beverages, and friendly staff, there are restrooms as well as showers and toiletries. Hands down, this is by far the best USO that I have ever been to, and the scope and extent of services that are afforded to military members and their dependents is not only impressive but also commendable!

    This is the best USO I've been to in North America! They're always so nice is thoughtfully laid out and they always have a great assortment of food. You don't have to worry about your carry on because they have someone hold on to your stuff so you can walk around and grab food, use the computers, watch tv in the lounge area or go to the bathroom and shower if need be. It's like a mini on the go Airbnb in the airport for service members and their family. They also have a small area to play Xbox if your not tired. They're very friendly and it's nicely located AWAY from the crowds downstairs. It's located on the Mezzanine floor. Take the elevator upstairs and the walk around til you see it tucked away in the corner. It's a wonderful place to stop by if you have time prior or after your flight. I love the USO and make it a point to visit one anywhere I travel. So far this one is the best!

    Open 24 hours and has a shower!

    Had the best complementary buffet in an airport lounge in my life…read more My wife, her mom, and I were traveling back home to LAX from Seattle on a Wednesday. Due to price differences, I ended up booking the direct flight for 17:30 for savings. Since we needed to check out of our Mercer Island airbnb by 11, we ended up staying around the airport for a while. It is stated that Centurion Lounge allows access 3 hours before your scheduled departure. At this location, this is easily enforced by not letting one join their mandatory virtual queue until the time is within that timeframe. So we joined the queue at exactly 2:30, and got a text invitation with QR code 15 minutes later. Check-in was the same, requiring the actual CC that grants entry, along with ID and boarding pass. It's a pretty big lounge and it wasn't packed like we saw from previous visits, so then appreciated the timed entry that we had just gone through. We were able to find seating near the bar area. The first thing I noticed was the busy cold seafood bar, situated near the coffee bar. It looked good, but didn't realize how good until I started to partake. There were two chefs manning the bar...one constantly shucking oysters and the other making sure the shrimp and scallops were maintained, joining in the shucking when he could. It was called the 'Puget Sound Raw Bar', and consisted of freshly shucked Kumamoto and Takara Oysters on the half shell, scallop Ceviche on the half shell, salmon crudo, poached prawns, two different types of poke, and various seafood salads. I was really impressed with the oysters...instead of the typical Pacific oysters, this was Kumamoto which is so much sweeter, but so much smaller. Have never had more than half dozen at a time of those, and I had way more than that this time (my wife and her mom don't like cold seafood, let alone raw, so felt I had to make up for that). I did have my fill of giant chilled shrimp, though. And the scallop ceviche was absolutely delicious. The salmon poke used wild salmon caught in the area...even in poke, it was obvious that it was king salmon and the quality just shined. All of this was quality that would fit into a high priced seafood tower at a high-end steakhouse. We had time, so ended up trying different types of their cocktail drinks from the bar as well. They allow you to only pick up one drink per person at a time, so had to request my wife to go up to directly pick up hers. Later learned that this buffet is only offered once or twice a month, and only for 3-4 hours. Looking back, I felt like I hit the lottery by being offered this for no additional cost at the exact time of our visit. Will take these small wins, whenever I can.

    If you're planning to visit the Centurion Lounge at Sea-Tac, my biggest piece of advice is to join…read morethe waitlist in the Amex app as soon as you clear security. In the app, tap the Membership tab at the bottom, select Airport Lounges, find the Seattle Sea-Tac Centurion Lounge, and then tap Join Waitlist. During my visit, the wait to get in was longer than expected (45 minutes) and using the waitlist can save you a considerable amount of time. After seeing the lounge in person, it was easy to understand why there is often a wait. The space is beautiful, but it's much smaller than I anticipated and can get very crowded during peak travel times. Another thing to know is that the lounge isn't the easiest place to find if it's your first visit. It's tucked away near Koi Sushi in the middle of the main concourse food court area, so keep an eye out for the signs as you make your way through the terminal. Once inside, I could see why so many travelers want access. The lounge is modern, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were outstanding throughout my visit. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The vanilla latte was excellent and easily one of the better coffees I've had in an airport lounge. Service at the coffee bar and throughout the lounge was top-notch. The food was good, although the selection felt more limited than I expected. There was a soup station, salad options, appetizers, and several hot entrées. Everything I tried was fresh and flavorful. The green smoothies were fantastic, and the made-in-house ice cream was a standout and worth saving room for. I typically favor going to the Delta Sky Clubs when flying through Seattle, so it was nice to finally check out the Centurion Lounge. My husband specifically wanted to try it on this trip, and I'm glad we did because it was a worthwhile experience. Overall, I think the Centurion Lounge is definitely a great option if you have access. However, if you also have access to the two Delta Sky Clubs at Sea-Tac, I would personally choose those instead. The Sky Clubs offer a much more spacious experience, significantly more seating, and what feels like three times the number of food options. I've also never had to wait to get into a Sky Club in Seattle, whereas the wait for the Centurion Lounge was substantial. That said, I still enjoyed my visit. The lounge is attractive, the service is excellent, the coffee is great, and it's a comfortable place to relax before a flight. If lounge access comes with one of your cards, it's absolutely worth visiting. I'm just not sure I would pay $50 separately for access given the crowds and limited space. If you're looking for a comfortable place to recharge, grab a quality coffee, enjoy a meal, and escape the terminal for a bit, the Centurion Lounge delivers. Just set your expectations regarding the size and wait times. While my personal preference remains the Delta Sky Clubs, I can absolutely see why Centurion Lounge fans enjoy this space, especially for the service, coffee, and overall atmosphere.

    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. This is an OK lounge; I wish they made repairs in a timely fashion.

For breakfast, the only hot food options were egg bites or waffles. The lounge advertised congee, but there wasn't any available. There was also only one type of milk, which seemed surprisingly limited. The lounge itself is large and was nearly empty--which, after the experience, wasn't surprising. While it offers plenty of seating, the food selection and overall amenities fall well short of expectations. Compared to the American Express Centurion Lounge or even the Delta Sky Club, The Club SEA is a far cry from the experience those lounges provide. If you have access to another lounge, I'd recommend choosing that instead. Unfortunately, if you're departing from the S Gates, this may be your only option.
