Help Shape SeaTac's Transportation Future: Take the TMP Survey!

Have you ever felt stuck in traffic on International Blvd or struggled to find a safe place to walk your dog? If so, you're not alone. The City of SeaTac is currently updating its Transportation Master Plan (TMP), and they need your input!

What is the TMP?

The TMP is a roadmap for SeaTac's transportation system for the next 20 years. It will guide decisions about everything from road improvements to bike lanes to public transit.

Why should you care?

The way we get around our city impacts everyone. This survey is your chance to weigh in on what kind of transportation options you want to see in SeaTac. Whether you prioritize safety for pedestrians, reliable public transportation, or efficient car travel, your voice matters!

The survey is quick and easy to take – it only takes about 5 minutes! It's available in multiple languages, including English, Amharic, Somali, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

Here's how to take the survey:

• Review the "Envision 2044 Transportation Master Plan Project Needs Your Input" post for more detailed information about the plan.
• Click the survey link and share your thoughts!

The deadline to take the survey is fast approaching, so don't delay! Let's work together to create a transportation system that works for everyone in SeaTac.

Spread the word! Share this post with your neighbors, friends, and family. The more people who participate, the better the TMP will reflect the needs of our community.

Together, we can shape a future where getting around SeaTac is safe, convenient, and accessible for all.

Help Keep the Spark Alive! Support Our Community 4th of July Fireworks!

Calling all Angle Lake patriots!

For many years, we've enjoyed a dazzling display of fireworks on the 4th of July, a cherished tradition that brings our community together. Unfortunately, this year, our private-public partnership with the city has ended.

To ensure this tradition continues, we need your help! We're aiming to raise a minimum of $25,000 to secure a spectacular fireworks display for our Independence Day celebration in 2025.

Here's where you come in! We're seeking pledges of support from at least 250 households willing to contribute a minimum of $100 each.

Important Note: Pledges will only be converted to actual donations once the minimum goal of $25,000 commitments is reached. There are no funds currently available to cover any potential shortfalls so please only pledge if you can commit making your indicated donation amount.

Why We Need Your Help

A magnificent fireworks display is a significant undertaking, requiring professional planning, licensing, and of course, the dazzling pyrotechnics themselves. Without the city's contribution, the financial responsibility falls entirely on our community.

How You Can Help

By committing to a $100 donation or more, you'll be directly contributing to a vibrant and unforgettable 4th of July celebration for our entire community. Imagine the joy on children's faces as they witness the dazzling display lighting up the night sky!

Let's work together to keep this tradition alive!

Here's what you can do:

• Spread the Word! Share this message with your friends, neighbors, and family. The more support we have, the brighter our celebration will be!
• Make Your Pledge Today! Simply email anglelakesc@gmail.com to confirm your commitment.
• Stay Updated! We'll keep you informed on our progress towards reaching the $25,000 pledge goal.

Together, we can ensure that the spirit of Independence Day continues to shine brightly over the waters of Angle Lake in the City of SeaTac!

Angle Lake Lights Up! But is the Future Bright for Fireworks?

This year's 4th of July celebration at Angle Lake Park was a resounding success! We owe a huge thank you to the Angle Lake Shore Club for stepping in and sponsoring a dazzling firework display that capped off a day of family fun.

However, as we celebrate the vibrant display over the lake, a shadow of uncertainty hangs over our beloved fireworks tradition. As many of you know, the City Council supported a shift toward funding an Electronic Drone Show, ultimately eliminating funding for the traditional private-public fireworks display this year.

The Angle Lake Shore Club's last-minute sponsorship ensured a spectacular show, but the future remains unclear.  Can we rely on private sponsorships every year?

This is where we, the Angle Lake community, come in.

For generations, an All-American Traditional 4th of July fireworks have been a cornerstone of our lakeside celebrations. The dazzling lights reflected on the water, the shared "oohs" and "ahs" – these memories are woven into the fabric of our community spirit.

We urge you to join us in voicing your support for the continuation of this cherished American tradition.

Here are some ways you can help:

• Contact the City Council: Let them know how much the fireworks mean to you and urge them to find a way to secure funding in the future.

• Email: CityCouncil@seatacwa.gov

• Form Letter: https://bit.ly/3xWaiuY 

• Spread the Word: Talk to your neighbors, friends, and family about the importance of keeping the fireworks tradition alive. Consider making a pledge of financial support to ensure a display in 2025.

• Join the Conversation: Attend community meetings and voice your support for future fireworks displays.

Together, we can ensure that the skies over Angle Lake continue to light up with joy, not just on the 4th of July, but for many years to come.
