A “possible cyberattack” led to a series of delays at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) as the Port of Seattle dealt with an “internet and web systems outage” Saturday.

In a statement, the international airport announced that the outages began on Saturday morning, which stemmed from a “possible cyberattack” at the Port of Seattle.

“Earlier this morning, the Port of Seattle experienced certain system outages indicating a possible cyberattack,” authorities said. “The Port isolated critical systems and is in the process of working to restore full service.”

On Saturday, as of 8 p.m. ET, 247 flights had been delayed and six had been canceled at the airport, according to FlightAware.

The airport noted that it does not have an estimated time for returning to full operational capacity, but is working with authorities and partners to help travelers whose itineraries were impacted by the outage.

“We are working closely with appropriate authorities and partners to help travelers who may be impacted. If you are traveling today, please check with our airline partners for travel information and allow extra time to get to SEA and to your gate,” the airport said. “To help get through the airport easier, get your mobile boarding pass for your flight and any checked baggage through the airline apps before you get to SEA.”

Transportation authorities also urged passengers traveling at the airport to check in with their airlines for latest information related to their flights. 

They said the outages are impacting some systems at the airport.

The Federal Aviation Administration declined to provide a comment on the delays, referring FOX Business to SEA authorities.

Seattle Mariners stars and team leaders J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez spoke on Friday about the team’s decision to fire longtime manager Scott Servais after eight-plus years.

From Crawford’s perspective, per Curtis Crabtree of FOX 13 Seattle:

J.P. Crawford on Scott Servais: “It was tough. He’s been my manager ever since my first day here and he challenged me to be the best person I could be. Sad to see him go.”

Under Servais, Crawford reached great heights, so it’s understandable why he has such an affinity for him. After being acquired in a trade with the Philadelphia Phillies, Crawford won a Gold Glove Award in 2020. He also helped the Mariners get back to the playoffs in 2022, having a crucial hit in an AL Wild Card Series win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

Furthermore, Crawford earned a five-year contract worth $51 million under Servais’s helm. He’s under contract through 2026.

As for Rodriguez, Servais is the only big-league manager he’s ever played for (until Friday night).

As for Rodriguez, the following comes fron Daniel Kramer of MLB.com:

Julio Rodríguez on the Mariners’ managerial change:

“I’m just focused on playing baseball. Those decisions are outside the players. That’s obviously higher up. We’re employees here, just like everybody is, so we’ve just got to show up and play baseball.”

Rodriguez was back in center field on Friday night for the first time since injuring his ankle on July 21. He went 0-for-3 at the plate with two walks and made an outstanding catch in the top of the tenth inning to keep the game tied. The Mariners eventually won it 6-5 in the bottom half.

They’ll play the Giants again on Saturday at 1:10 p.m. PT.
