How far is the Seattle airport from the cruise ships?

If flying in, the airport is about 15 miles south of the cruise ports, which are located in downtown Seattle. The trip is a 20-30 minute ride, depending on traffic. Fortunately, there are plenty of options for reaching the port, even if you don't have a car. In general we'd recommend Uber/Lyft to the cruise port.
