For further reference, the forthcoming SEA lounge is 15,800 sq ft.
Obviously, Alaska has many more flights out of SEA than SFO. I'd guess 3x-4x more? Then again, Alaska has more than one lounge at SEA.
I searched for a source on # of daily AS flights from each airport but couldn't find that. If anyone has that, please post.

An apt comparison would be Centurion lounge SFO at 8200 sq. ft. And it's pretty constantly packed.

Judson said that it has yet to be determined if the SFO lounge will become part of the Priority Pass lounge network.

If it does become part of PP, then it will be the only PP service in the Terminal 1 & 2 secure area, and will likely be packed at all times. It seems strange that PP has 2 restaurants in the same terminal - 3 - and none at all in 1 & 2. You could guess that they're trying to work something out to fill this gap. And if there are other PP choices available, then maybe Alaska will allow this new lounge to be part of the program too.

The Admiral's Club at SFO is just over 9,400 square feet.

Judson said that the Admirals Club space is not large enough to accomodate the 500 or so guests expected at the Alaska Lounge each day.

Huh fascinating. The current Admirals Club is *bigger* than the new AS Lounge? That's the exact opposite of what Alex Judson (as quoted by Chris McGinnis) claimed in SFGate (though he did not back up his claim with hard data):

He could be saying that the Admiral's Club is not big enough to handle the 500 incremental guests that the AS lounge will be able to serve. There are currently many people flying AS who are entitled to lounge access if there was an AS lounge, but currently wouldn't fit in the Admiral's Club.

Are there any updates to the mentioned article? I don't see any PP lounges at terminal 2 at this time.
