Hello Neighbors,
We're thrilled to share that our Independence Day fireworks fundraiser is almost there! Thanks to your generous contributions, we've made significant progress towards our $25,000 goal. Your support means the world to us, and we're one step closer to bringing a dazzling fireworks display to SeaTac on July 4th, 2025.
But here's where we need your help even more:
While we've been working hard on fundraising, the City of SeaTac is currently facing a budget crisis. They're exploring ways to cut costs, and one proposal includes eliminating all park activities on Independence Day. This means that if the proposal passes, the Angle Lake Shore Club would be responsible for covering the entire cost of entertaining the thousands of people who typically visit the park on this holiday.We believe that a vibrant Independence Day celebration is an important part of our community spirit. It's a chance for neighbors to come together, have fun, and enjoy the beauty of our city and celebrate our freedom. We feel the City should continue to support this program financially. We urge you to get involved and voice your opinion on this proposal.
Here's what you can do:
- Attend an upcoming City Council Meeting: Plan to attend one of the following council meetings and deliver public comment to let your councilmembers know how important Independence Day celebrations are to you.
- Thursday, Oct 18 at 3:00 pm. Council Budget Workshop #3
- Tuesday, Oct 22 at 6:00 pm. Regular Council Meeting.
- Contact City Officials: Reach out to the Mayor and City Council members directly to express your concerns. Send comments via email to CityCouncil@seatacwa.gov or telephone each council member individually.
- Share Your Thoughts: Post your comments on social media and tag relevant city officials. Use the hashtag #SeaTac4th to help amplify your voice.
Thank you for your support!

What costs would the Shore Club entail at the park? I've always thought the Shore Club activities around the lake were done mostly by volunteers? I thought the city wasn't going to contribute towards the traditional fireworks but only have their drone show? Surely the Shore Club is not going to contribute to the drone show. The city won't put up the signs & banners and contribute to park activities, but they will entertain getting rid of the city hall building and spending millions & millions building a new city hall palace for themselves?
Correction - The next Seatac City Council Meeting is on FRIDAY October 18th at 3:00pm!
