★ 32King County Ordinance No. 2883, passed in September 1976, officially adopted the Sea-Tac Communities Plan as an addendum to the King County Comprehensive Plan, establishing it as the guiding policy for land use, development, and redevelopment around Sea-Tac International Airport.

2026-01-06Carrying capacity map, North Sea-Tac Park
This document presents a Carrying Capacity map for North Sea-Tac Park, classifying land areas into four categories—Very High, High, Moderate, and Low—based on their suitability for various recreational activities. Very High areas can support intensive uses like sports fields and horse trails, while Low areas are too environmentally sensitive for most development. The map appears to be part of a passive recreational planning study examining how different zones of the park can be used without causing significant environmental harm. -

2025-05-13Letter of intent: City of SeaTac offer to acquire North SeaTac Park from Port Of Seattle
In May 2025, the City of SeaTac formally offered to purchase approximately 214 acres of North SeaTac Park and Pat Ryan Field from the Port of Seattle, proposing $20 million in park improvements and the creation of a nonprofit foundation to manage the funds. The letter argues the park is surplus to the Port's aviation needs yet essential to community health, serving roughly 650,000 visitors annually as a buffer against airport noise and air pollution. The offer, submitted by City Manager Jonathan Young, is intended to fulfill Port Order No. 2024-12, which directed the Port to develop options for permanently preserving the land as public parkland. -

2024-08-15Tub Lake / Sunset Park site hazard assessment report
The Tub Lake/Sunset Park site in SeaTac, located one mile north of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, was contaminated by decades of illegal dumping of waste oil and bilge oil from ships between 1941 and 1945, as well as leaking underground storage tanks at a King County road maintenance facility. Environmental sampling conducted in 1990 detected petroleum hydrocarbons, benzene, and other chemicals exceeding cleanup standards in soil, sediment, and water, with contamination estimated to cover 2-3 acres up to 12 feet deep beneath nearby playing fields. The Port of Seattle, which owns the southern wetlands portion of the site including Tub Lake, fenced the area in the 1970s after demolishing residences in the airport's landing pathway, though public access and ongoing contamination remained concerns at the time of the assessment.
