No matter who is to blame in this second landing mistake on twy T, if SEA authorities do not apply soon a similar solution as the simple but effective one applied at Paphos, then they should be held fully accountable for any further mishap on twy T. Making mistakes is bad, not learning from them is criminal.
Although a bit more costly, putting a big yellow, lighted X on this
slope would make it complete. Not visible on the ground, so not confusing anybody on the ground that the twy is closed (as would be the case with a big X painted on, or placed next to the twy as some suggest)

How about not offering anymore, for taxying comfort only, a side step almost 2 minutes after the landing clearance, when all minds are set on the cleared rwy. And when a late side step is to be made for operational reasons, complementing the instruction with the new ILS freq. would facilitate an alignment double check, even when doing a visual app.
