The runway numbers at KSEA have changed, so it could be that the navdata/sidstar files are not of the same vintage. Both should be updated to the current cycle (0803). See PMDG OPs wiki section for more info and where to get this info: http://ops.precisionmanuals.com/wiki/SIDSTARS

Ken,Please try to use some decent punctuation. It is very hard to read your 'sentences'.This sounds like a problem with your nav data. Please confirm you have a FMCWPNavData folder in the %FSX-root%PMDG folder and that it contains files. ALso make sure you have a SIDSTARS folder in your %FSX-root%PMDG folder and that it is full of *.txt files. One file for each airport.Also check the link provided by Dan: http://ops.precisionmanuals.com/wiki/SIDSTARSHope it helps,
