Air Traffic Control Issued New Clearance
Airspace Structure; Manuals; Human Factors
Aircraft X had transitioned from a Special Activity Airspace to VFR flight following to a requested IFR clearance. Pilot advised he was seeking VFR conditions. I issued an IFR clearance via the airway and a descent clearance. Pilot read back clearance after repeat. The MEA on the airway is above the altitude issued in the descent clearance. I issued too low an altitude by mistake. NUW TRACON requested route verification on handoff; which I gave quickly before hanging up. TRACON called Supervisor desk to advise of incorrect MEA issued. Self-familiarize with area MEA/MIA info. Verify if unsure.
ZSE Controller issued an IFR clearance altitude below the Minimum Enroute Altitude for the airway.
