I know in Asia, tight connections like these would have grand staff picking up then dropping off the passenger from one gate to the next. Will DL or KE have this service in SEA by any chance?
Would be interesting to know where your domestic flight is coming from. But yes, assuming you arrive on time, this is no problem at all. If you happen to arrive at the South Sattelite, it will only take you 5 mins to reach your KE gate. Otherwise, there is a very frequent train. Will still take you less than 15 mins to reach the KE gate.

That said, there's obviously not much room for error. If a delay in your trip would create a burden, then I would not book this itinerary.
