    Living in a suburb like SeaTac, you get to experience how busy a place can be since it is near an airport. The parks around the area are so beautiful, especially Angle Lake. The community is so diverse that you would see new faces with warm smiles. When moving to SeaTac, there seems to be no uncertainty of safety. When it comes to communities, it is always about safety and diversity and SeaTac has achieved both of the factors. The commute to places is fairly easy. A near by train station to get to Downtown can be about 5-20 minutes away from your home. When you move to Seatac there will someone who will welcome you in, whether if it's your neighbor or if it's a random person doing their daily jog.

    I love the convenience to local schools, highways, malls, grocery stores, airport, light rail, train station, many job opportunities. Love the friendly neighbors.
    It's so close to everything. There is a lightrail that goes through the city connecting it to near by cities. It's 15 minutes from downtown without the traffic of downtown. One college is located in SeaTac and a few more are within driving distance
