We're here to help!

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) welcomes travelers from around the world and we’re here to help in the language that is most comfortable for you.  

Pathfinders and Volunteers at Information Desks

Look for the team in green at Information Desks. Every day, travelers connect with our Pathfinders and volunteers. Multilingual team members wear badge talkers that display the languages they speak. They can help with interpretation and translation assistance, including ASL, Auditory, and Vision Assistance. The team in green has access to Language Line Services, an on-demand service with professional interpreters in hundreds of languages. In 2025, the top 10 used when reaching out for help were Mandarin, Korean, Spanish, Japanese, Vietnamese, Russian, French, Ukrainian, Arabic and Khmer. Our volunteers also carry handheld translation devices to assist you with voice, text and photo translations.

You can find the team in green from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. in areas throughout the airport. 

  • Pre-security on the ticketing level between Checkpoints 4 and 5
