Explore SeaTac, Washington, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for SeaTac, Washington. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Washington or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to SeaTac.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

SeaTac occupies a corridor of land where the persistent, cool moisture of the Pacific Northwest shapes the very texture of the morning air. It lies 1.6 miles southeast of Burien, WA (from Burien, WA: bearing 135°T), and is situated 6.5 miles northwest of Kent. Miller Creek winds its way through the landscape, acting as a quiet artery that feeds the local ecosystem. Travelers passing through the region might catch a glimpse of the distant, snow-dusted peaks of the Cascade Range hovering on the horizon like a pale, serrated blade. Only a short distance away, the quiet waters of Lora Lake offer a reflective contrast to the bustling transit activity that defines the area. Those seeking a deeper connection with the terrain often visit Walker Creek Preserve to observe the native flora in its undisturbed state. The proximity to Tramp Harbor brings a subtle, salt-tinged quality to the breeze, hinting at the vast, interconnected waterways that define the wider region.
SeaTac serves as a primary logistical engine for the surrounding region, anchored by the massive infrastructure of its international aviation hub. This concentration of transport and warehousing has fostered a diverse economic climate that draws workers from every corner of the globe. Historically, the land transitioned from dense timber stands and small-scale agriculture into a vital nexus of global commerce. The constant hum of industry ensures that SeaTac maintains a pace that feels perpetually forward-looking and industrious. Local businesses have grown to support the needs of both the transient population and the long-term residents who keep the machinery of the regional economy moving. This synthesis of quiet residential life and intense industrial purpose creates a unique tension that defines the daily experience of the people here.
SeaTac possesses a cultural character shaped by the constant arrival and departure of travelers, creating a mosaic of international influences. Visitors looking for a moment of quiet reflection often head toward the Barnes Creek Nature Trail, where the canopy provides a sanctuary from the urban intensity. While the region is primarily defined by its pragmatic role in aviation, it is also home to a community that values its local preserves and public spaces. The area occasionally honors its connection to the wider Pacific Northwest through community gatherings that celebrate the long, grey seasons and the resilience of the local spirit. Notable individuals such as the musician Duff McKagan have roots in this general territory, adding a layer of cultural history to the local narrative. Life in SeaTac is marked by this intersection of global mobility and the grounded, persistent beauty of the evergreen landscape.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
