You can get PreCheck separately. I got PreCheck and Global Entry as a side benefit of Nexus. Which, btw, is the cheapest way to get them all.

You have to travel to the the northern border to get Nexus right?

I got (Global Entry, Sentri, Precheck) since I live near the southern border.

Correct. The interview locations are all along the northern border.

Nexus also allows you to use Sentri lanes when crossing the Mexican border.

Right, you need a place that has Canadian border agents as well.

Seatac airport used to have this, but I think that was stopped during COVID and never restarted.

Seatac never had it. You actually had to go to Boeing field. That's where I got mine.

By the way, I forgot another side benefit of Nexus (and Sentri, I think): your Nexus card qualifies as a Real ID, so no need to upgrade your state ID when that requirement comes into effect for air travel.
