Visitation at FDC Seatac

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

Visiting at FDC SeaTac runs on a tight schedule, so timing matters. Visitor processing opens 30 minutes before posted visiting hours, stops 1.5 hours before the visiting period ends, and pauses 45 minutes before official counts. Social visits last two hours max, and inmates are allowed one social visit per day. Legal visits operate on a separate schedule with distinct daily hours published by the facility. Ministers of Record can request a visit through the Chaplain, and that visit doesn't count toward the inmate's visitor total (limited to one per inmate). Before you go, confirm you're on the inmate's approved visitor list. If you're planning a video visit, verify scheduling and device requirements ahead of time, since booking processes can vary.
