TSA had passengers at SEA-TAC shuffling a long distance between screening locations when one got backed up, but otherwise it was a smooth dropoff, check-in, shuttle to terminal experience.

That was my first time flying Milwaukee to Seattle & vice versa. I think we choose a good airline. Seattle’s traffic & airport is busier than Milwaukee so get there at least 2 hours early. Download & keep an eye on the Alaska airline app for flight info updates.
