Appointments are required for all interactions and need to be made in advance. Please call 206.973.4750 or email permittechnicians@seatacwa.gov to arrange an appointment.

Per Governor’s Order, the following precautions are in place for everyone’s safety:

The number of visitors allowed in the Permit Center will be limited based on current social distancing requirements.
All visitors and staff must wear a mask during interactions. If you do not have one, one will be provided.
No customers will be allowed to loiter or wait in the lobby.

Inspections:

All permit inspection requests must be received via the inspection request line at 206-973-4764 by 10:00 PM for a next-day inspection. Inspections will be made consistent with the Governor’s Order, as amended.
Please do not call for inspection if someone onsite has tested positive for COVID-19 or has been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 14 days.
When the inspection is located in a private residence, the inspector will ask if anyone has symptoms, has tested positive, or has been in contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19. If for any reason the inspector feels concern entering the residence, the inspection will be cancelled for their safety and the safety of the community. A new inspection request can be submitted when it is possible to perform the inspection safely.

Municipal Court

SeaTac Municipal Court will begin holding virtual hearings until further notice beginning June 1, 2020.

Healthy Washington Plan - Phase 3:

King County is in Phase 3 of the state’s COVID-19 re-opening sequence. On March 22, the Governor moved all counties into Phase 3 of the Healthy Washington - Roadmap to Recovery plan.

The Governor issued an extension of the Healthy Washington – Roadmap to Recovery emergency proclamation on May 21 in addition to the new CDC face covering guidance issues on May 13. Fully vaccinated people are not required to wear a mask inside or outside, except in certain locations (health care settings, correctional facilities, homeless shelters, schools and public transportation).

Business owners may adopt an “honor system” and can assume that any customer who is not wearing a mask has been fully vaccinated. Business owners and local authorities have the option to require that customers wear a mask. Local authorities may not prohibit business owners from requiring their customers to wear a face covering.

However, the City cannot welcome walk-in customers at this time and City Council, Council Committee and Citizen Advisory Committee meetings are still all virtual.

See more information about what’s open and what’s closed on King County's Current COVID-19 Guidance page.

The state is also distributing vaccines for nearly all Washingtonians. To find available COVID-19 vaccine appointments and other information about vaccination, visit the Washington State Department of Health’s COVID-19 resource page.

Consider to continue taking prevention measures:

Wear face coverings indoors when gathering with anyone who is not a member of your household.
Maintain six feet of distance.
Wash your hands or use sanitizing gel frequently.
Improve ventilation in indoor spaces by opening windows when possible.
Get tested at the first sign of illness. Find free testing locations near SeaTac.

Phase 3 allows for indoor activities, including dining, fitness, museums and more at 50 percent capacity. Phase 3 restrictions affect public access to City Hall, the SeaTac Senior Center, Valley Ridge Community & Teen Center, and the Maintenance Facility.
