2021 Arts & Culture Master Plan
Two years ago the City began conducting research along with interviews and survey to create the SeaTac Arts & Culture Master Plan. The Opportunities Report is the first part of a three-part SeaTac Arts & Culture Master Plan done to guide the work of the City’s Arts, Culture and Library Advisory Committee, known as the ACLAC. The second part is the Implementation Roadmap. This Roadmap concentrates on reaching out to community leaders to begin to foster relationships and look for areas of mutual interest related to arts and culture. The Action Plan is the third and final piece of the Master Plan. It is intended to be the first of series of Action Plans that are updated with a clearly defined set of near-term actions and intended to be updated every two years. This is a plan designed to guide the City with attainable actions and goals to support the arts.
The plan will also be used to help SeaTac receive funding from different sources, such as grants, to implement things such as public art, more events, and more classes. The current action plan will be in place through the end of 2022.
Some of the changes the City hopes to make includes incorporating more public art and developing partnerships to utilize existing spaces such as the community center and parks.
Construction Contract Awarded for South 180th Flood Reduction Project
Road Construction Northwest Inc. was awarded the project by the City of SeaTac at the Council Meeting on July 13. Road Construction Northwest submitted the lowest responsive bid for this much-needed project that will fix localized flooding issues on South 180th Street.
The project will also include a lighted and paved pedestrian path to make it easier for pedestrian access between South 180th Street and South 182nd Street. This proposed path will connect to a designated “Safe Route to School” for the nearby Bow Lake Elementary.
Lake to Sound Trail Interlocal Agreement
City Council agreed to enter into an Interlocal Agreement with King County for the construction of the Lake to Sound Trail Project, Segment C. The project is being funded jointly by King County and Washington State Department of Transportation and will be managed by King County Parks. This project will complete another segment of the trail system that connects Lake Washington to the Puget Sound. When complete, this 16-mile network of separated trail segments and on-street facilities will be linked to benefit pedestrians and cyclists in SeaTac and the region.
Segment C will consist of nearly two miles of trail that will start at the boundary with Burien, run through SeaTac, and connect at the existing Des Moines Creek trailhead along South 200th Street.
