Message from the Kyle Moore Interim
City Manager
At the Dec. 10 meeting, the City Council passed the 2025-26 budget. The Council held four public budget workshops to study the budget and provide opportunities for community input. The Council also approved the City's Comprehensive Plan, Envision SeaTac 2044. Please see the City blog post for details about both of these topics. I hope everyone enjoys a peaceful and productive final few weeks of the year.

City Council Adopts Envision SeaTac 2044
The City Council adopted Envision SeaTac 2044, our City’s roadmap for growth. This includes updates to the Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Master Plan, and development regulations that establish where and how the City will grow. The Council voted to adopt these updates at its Dec. 10 meeting, with two changes:
1. The proposed rezoning of the Bow Lake Estates Manufactured Home Park was changed from “Manufactured Home Park” to “Urban Residential High,” which is similar to the current zoning of the property.
2. The eligibility requirement for the City’s Multi-Family Tax Exemption Program’s 8-year exemption changed from a 4-dwelling unit minimum to a minimum of 20 units of multifamily housing.

City Gets Clean Financial Audit
The State Auditor’s Office has completed its audit of the City of SeaTac’s 2023 finances. The SAO examined areas representing the highest risk of fraud, loss, abuse, and found no areas of non-compliance.
"This audit report is testament to the diligent work of our Finance team to ensure that the City is a good steward of taxpayer dollars," said Interim City Manager Kyle Moore.
The state routinely audits all local governments to ensure public funds are accounted for and controls are in place to protect public resources from misappropriation and misuse.
City Attorney Gets Key to the City
Mary Bartolo, outgoing City Attorney at City of SeaTac, received a symbolic key to the City at the December 10 Council meeting. This practice has been a long-time tradition for City leadership. Mary has been with the City since 1993.
