In the City of SeaTac, opportunities abound for prospective businesses and potential developers alike. In fact, the City is proactively promoting mixed-use development opportunities along International Boulevard. Transit stations at 176th Street and 154th Street that will begin to serve Sound Transit’s “Link” light rail in 2009 serve as catalysts for adjacent redevelopment. Transit oriented development in these areas could include an energetic mix of multi-family residential, retail, restaurants, entertainment venues and hotels.
Businesses in the City of SeaTac are located at the crossroads of regional transportation and the center of regional hospitality. SeaTac is readily accessible by I-5 and WA-509, SR-99 and nearby I-405. More than 5,200 guest rooms provide a constant stream of visitors that expands the market for local businesses. Located within the City, Sea-Tac International Airport is an economic driver and a vehicle for private sector growth in SeaTac.
Businesses can also be assured of a business friendly local government that offers the personal touch of a smaller city. Couple this with the fact that the City of SeaTac has no city business and occupation tax, no city utility taxes, and no per-employee tax, and you are left with an environment in which a business can thrive.

SeaTac is readily accessible by Interstate 5, WA-509, State Route 99 and Interstate 405. The city is currently working with Sound Transit to bring light rail to the City Centre and the airport by 2009. These plans include the construction of a three mile long elevated light rail track and three transit stations set up at 176th and 154th Streets to serve those who work and live in SeaTac. The light rail track will connect SeaTac with Seattle and other cities in King County. In addition to the light rail system, there are also seven bus routes that currently serve the SeaTac area.
