ive been to all three lounges, I would take the quick underground tram ride To N gates, And go to the lounge there, at the end after youve eaten , If you still have a tiny bit of time left and are curious, you can go check out the other lounges, but the food is the exact same in all three, but the end gates one is a lot bigger, like a lot a lot bigger, many thousands of square feet, and has very nice new furnishing
oh, and you asked about views, N Gates lounge has the best view, D gates lounge, You just get to see all the planes parked, no view of the runway or beauty of the Seattle airport, C gates lounge, Has a small view, but nothing compared to N gates

The odds of your concourses sticking (unless you're on regional plane into to C) are slim. Given your time, head over to N. It is the nicest and most spacious setting. I may actually like C better than D, but not by a large margin.

Eastbay1K is right, Gates change all the time, Almost no chance, That whatever gate it says youre gonna be at right now is gonna be the gate that you actually depart and arrive from, The gates change all the time, theres a lot of factors that go into this, But it doesnt really matter because if you truly have three hours then no matter what you have time to take the less than 10 minutes ( it doesnt matter where you start from ) commute to the Alaska N Gates lounge

Agree with all above. N lounge blows C and D out of the water.. Food and bev options are relatively the same, but for space, seating options, views, etc, N truly is miles above.

You have great runway and taxiway views from the N lounge too.

N Lounge is one of the best in the Country of any domestic airline!

3 hours = 3 lounges, but Id favor N as others have mentioned.
C and N locations are conveniently located at train stops so its easy to go between them, in my opinion.

Apologies for the random derailing comment, but I think OP has their answer at this point. Ill be flying into/out of SEATAC later this quarter, and am wondering if I will have access to the N lounge. Have an Admirals Club membership (regular, not through CC), and gold status on AA. Flight will be either AA or AS. I know AS lounges are notorious for denying PP members due to capacity; is it the same case for Admirals members?

The D lounge at SEA has not seen any love from AS in many years. It is run down and usually crowded with people trying to find a place to sit. The staff is great but they are working with a bad layout and run down furniture. N will be your best bet with C as the backup. Food options are less at D with no Barista station.
