On June 11, 2019, the City of SeaTac Council adopted Ord. 19-1015 amending the Shoreline Master Program (SMP) and concluding its periodic review as required every eight years by the Shoreline Management Act (Chapter 90.58 RCW) . SeaTac’s SMP, a land use plan for local shoreline areas, applies to the lakeshore along Angle Lake and 200 feet landward of the lakeshore.

This review was not a major update like the City completed in 2010. Instead, the periodic review was limited in scope to changes that occurred to state laws and rules since the 2010 update. Additionally, the update ensures that the 2019 SMP was consistent with other SeaTac plans and regulations.
