That is my guess too. I imagine DL (and partners) will have preferential use of the A gates for international trips, though obviously given the fact that the Common Use “Club at SEA” is also remaining in A (underneath the new SkyClub), the airport’s vision is that at least some of the international flying from the A gates will be used by non-Delta (and non-Delta friends).
I also believe that outside the international peak hours ~noon-3ish, that DL will be allowed to use the international capable A gates for domestic flying.

But that change has been confirmed by multiple sources, and UA getting that existing Amex club space was basically what made UA become willing to swap out their 3x A gates with DL for their 3x B gates. The other gates that both DL and UA use in B are common use. Really, that swap was a win-win for both DL & UA.

A1 - Huge SkyClub
A11 - Another new huge SkyClub with SkyDeck
A11 - Club at SEA
A9 - United Club (currently closed, sounds like permanently)
B3 - Centurion Lounge (future United club?)
Central terminal - New Centurion Lounge (not sure on stats but I assume 10's of thousands of sq feet.)
S9 - British Galleries Club Lounge
S10 - Club at SEA
C16 - Alaska Lounge
D1 - Alaska Lounge
N10 - Flagship Alaska Lounge
I did not put the S9 Delta SkyClub on the list which is permanently closed (which in its own right was a pretty good sized club.) I don't know the stats for other airports like JFK, or SFO, which I'm sure have many more clubs, but the square feet of club space in Seattle seems quite high for SEA's passenger volume. But yet all lounges still seem over crowded.

In comparing its size with JFK and SFO like scklumb suggested, SEA in 2019 was about as busy in terms of total passenger numbers as SFO was in 2015 or JFK was in 2013.
