Alaska Lounges in ANC, LAX, PDX, and JFK accept Priority Pass (PP) on space-available (limited) basis.
Alaska Lounges in SEA no longer accept Priority Pass. (AS Lounges in SEA Leaving Priority Pass (9/1/2018)

2/9/19 PDX AL 6 AM-Noon sign out- denied entry. Not surprised with mx and wx delays. Hindsight I should have burned a pass due to rolling delays...

Sorry the previous thread was closed so I could do the conventional quote and type and I guess I am a little later to the party with this issue. I know that people before have said that the PP T&Cs say that there is a departing boarding pass requirement to use PP at Capers in PDX as @PDXPremier mentions in what I bolded. I am wondering if the T&Cs have changed since people have said that because when I look at the T&Cs now, it only says that a "same-day boarding pass is required." NOTHING says that it has to be an outgoing boarding pass. So if I was to show my boarding pass to PDX that was for that same day, I would be complying with the T&Cs. If @PDXPremier reads this thread please let me know if the PP T&Cs didn't change from when you linked it in April 2018, thanks!

This trip is with my family and we are only inbound into PDX, since we will be driving up to SEA before heading home (one of the benefits of the Alaska Companion Fare over all the others) and so I can only take advantage on the way in. I cross my fingers that they stay true to the T&Cs and honor any same day boarding pass.

2/18/2019 4 PM JFK . Sign out saying no entry for Priority Pass. I mentioned that we were traveling in F on Alaska, and I was told that we could enter if we were on a full fare F ticket. Since we weren't on full fare F tickets, I gave up.

I’m not sure the particulars of your tickets but first class award tickets and discounted first class (the latter booked in P) also qualify. It’s upgraded first (U class) that doesn’t.

As far as Capers goes, D/E side currently does not ask for a boarding pass. A/B/C side does. Usually when I arrive back to PDX, its later at night and the locations are closed, so haven't had a chance to test this. But a good friend of mine who travels quite a bit mentioned recently to me that they stop by the A/B/C side after getting back to PDX and shows an arrival (same day) boarding pass, and has never had an issue with it being rejected at A/B/C.

I've had The Capers Cafe check my boarding pass on the A/B/C side and they didn't flinch when I showed an arriving boarding Pass. I'm sure this is because they don't want airport employees or others from getting a PP card and dining or shopping there daily
