TagNorth Sea-Tac Park(77)

This map illustrates the F.A.A. density guidelines for the North Sea-Tac Park area, showing recommended population limits per acre across different airport safety zones. The Clear Zone nearest the runway allows the fewest people (approximately 1.5 per acre), while the Extended Clear Zone permits around 2 people per acre, and surrounding residential areas are guided toward densities of 20 to 40 people per acre. A gymnasium is specifically noted at 60 people during games, reflecting how land use intensity is regulated based on proximity to airport flight paths.

This document presents the Master Plan for North Sea-Tac Park, showing a detailed map of proposed and existing recreational facilities including baseball fields, soccer and football fields, tennis courts, a golf course, bicycle/motocross areas, and a Sunset Complex. The plan identifies property boundaries, fencing, limits of study, and extended clear zones relevant to nearby Seattle-Tacoma International Airport operations. It reflects land-use planning efforts to balance public park amenities with airport noise and safety constraints in the surrounding community.

This draft map from the City of SeaTac outlines land-use agreements for North SeaTac Park, showing eight numbered zones with different lease arrangements between the Port of Seattle, King County, and the City of SeaTac. Key areas include ball fields, a soccer field, a community garden, and a Highline Botanical Garden, governed primarily by 1991 and 1994 leases expiring in 2070. Some parcels are subject to Port termination rights with 180 days' notice, reflecting the airport's ongoing influence over surrounding land use and open space management.

This June 2022 report, prepared by Anchor QEA for the Port of Seattle, provides a comprehensive inventory of the 55-acre parcel within North SeaTac Park located near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. It covers the parcel's development history, cultural context, land use, environmental conditions (including soil, air quality, water, plants, and wildlife), noise levels, recreation, transportation, and utilities. The inventory serves as a baseline reference to inform future planning and policy decisions for this airport-adjacent public land.

This March 2022 report to SeaTac's Parks and Recreation Committee examines the city's existing lease arrangements with the Port of Seattle for North SeaTac Park and explores the feasibility of the city taking ownership of the park. The presentation covers the background of the ownership proposal, an overview of current leases dating back to 1991 and 1994, and outlines next steps including drafting a formal resolution. The park land, currently leased from the Port, encompasses multiple areas governed by agreements that have been amended over the years.
