The City of SeaTac was incorporated in February 1990 as a Non-Charter Code City with a Council-Manager form of government. The City has approximately 138 regular full-time employees, divided into eight departments, that provide a full range of municipal services. The SeaTac community isactively involved in their local government as members of numerous citizen advisory committees.

The City of SeaTac is unlike any other city of its size in the State of Washington. It has the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, run by the Port of Seattle, located completely within the City's borders, a large business community, and the second largest concentration of hotel and motel rooms in the state. More than 170,000 people work in or travel through the City each day.

Work at the City is fast-paced and varied. City employees are committed, hard-working professionals, energized by the many challenges of a growing and changing urban locale. 

The City prides itself on its collaborative working relationship with its employees and union. Information is openly shared. Opinions are sought, considered and evaluated on their merits. The City seeks to provide an environment where everyone is treated as a valued and respected member of the team.
