Welcome to the City of SeaTac's GIS Featured Initiatives Page

Central SeaTac Story Map

The purpose of this Story Map is to provide information on projects in Central SeaTac aimed at implementing City goals to create vibrant business and neighborhood districts. A special focus of this story map is to highlight efforts that help achieve the City’s urban village strategy and specifically, the recently updated growth and development vision for the airport business district and neighborhood adjacent to the SeaTac-Airport Light Rail Station (currently called the City Center).

Student Project - Parks Story Maps

In January 2019, GIS staff sponsored a student group from the University of Washington’s GIS Certificate Program. Over a five-month period, the students mapped a selection of park assets using a phone application to collect data, and created a draft Story Map to highlight parks and facilities.  At the conclusion of the student project, staff in the Parks, Community Programs & Services Department refined the initial draft submission into five Story Maps and prepared them for public use.  

The Story Maps are now online and can be viewed on the Parks and Facilities web page.

Low Impact Development Study and Maps

The Low Impact Development (LID) Infeasibility maps and data products were created for the City of SeaTac by Aspect Consulting in April of 2018 using existing data and LID infeasibility criteria from the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), as amended by the City of SeaTac Addendum to the KCSWDM (City Stormwater Standards).  The process for creating these maps and the specific criteria used are documented in the LID Infeasibility Study report prepared by Aspect Consulting and dated March 30, 2018.
