Hi, Robert! On your way from Seatle to Beijing and then to Hong Kong, you can make use of the 72-hour free transit policy, so no entry permit is needed. On your way back, if you can limit your total layover time in Shanghai and Beijing to 24 hours, you don't need the entry permit too. If the layover time is more than 24 hours, you need to apply for a one-entry L or G type in advance.
