Weak at SEA, strong at BOS
Browsing the wiki page of SEA, I noticed how weak (comparatively speaking) OneWorld is at SEA. The only international airline from OW at SEA is BA. In contrast, my hometown BOS has three international carriers: BA, CX, and JAL.

Delta is hubbing Seattle and really muscling in on Alaska's business up and down the west coast, including service to Alaska. DL and AS still partner, but I wouldn't be surprised if that sheet isn't split soon. AS partners with a lot of OW airlines as well as Skyteam, but if the Delta split occurs I wouldn't be shocked to see OW make another run as signing up AS.

True, but it's pretty easy to get to YVR, where you have CX, JL and BA. I'm still hoping Hainan might be tempted to join OW one of these days; they already codeshare with AB, AA and S7.

For other Asian destinations - PEK, PVG, HKG, NRT, ICN, TPE... there's plenty of nonstop capacity to/from SEA on several carriers.
