Tip: ATC has long quiet stretches between transmissions — that's normal, not a stream issue. Audio is streamed live from LiveATC.net through Rotate's proxy; we never record or store it.
Published frequencies, not just what one feed monitors. Field elevation 432 ft.

Ground Control: 121.7. Clearance Delivery: 128.0. Pilots call Clearance first for their clearance and squawk code, then Ground to taxi.
KSEA ATIS broadcasts on 118.0. It is a recorded loop with wind, visibility, altimeter setting and runways in use, identified by a phonetic letter that pilots report on first contact ("with information Bravo").
