The international airport said in a statement that the outage was caused by a “potential cyber attack” at the Port of Seattle.
“Early this morning, the Port of Seattle experienced a systems outage indicating a possible cyber attack,” officials said. “The port has isolated critical systems and is working to restore full service.”
As of 8 p.m. Saturday, 247 flights were delayed and six canceled, according to reports.
