Concrete Services in SeaTac
SeaTac is a King County city built around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, between Burien and Des Moines. Most residential neighborhoods date from the mid-century, with original concrete that is well past end-of-life. The airport corridor adds substantial commercial and right-of-way scope on top of the residential demand. Soils across SeaTac trend toward glacial till with localized fill near the airport itself.

Popular Concrete Services in SeaTac
Aging residential concrete
Most SeaTac residential work is replacing driveways, walks, and patios on mid-century homes, many of them more than 50 years old. Before a slab is torn out, it is worth checking whether it can be leveled instead; the leveling vs. replacement guide compares the two.
Commercial and right-of-way work
The airport corridor and adjacent commercial strips produce steady demand for ADA approaches, loading docks, and parking pads. Driveway connections, sidewalks, curbs, and gutters in the street need a City of SeaTac Right-of-Way Use Permit, reviewed by the Public Works Engineering Review Division against city road and surface water standards and the WSDOT/APWA standard plans.
Angle Lake and Des Moines Creek
SeaTac's Shoreline Master Program applies to about 2 miles of lakeshore along Angle Lake, covering areas 200 feet landward of the ordinary high water mark. Farther south, stormwater from streets, roofs, and parking lots moves through a six-square-mile watershed upstream of Des Moines Creek.
Permits in SeaTac
SeaTac's Permit Center in Community and Economic Development takes construction and land use applications through the city's online permitting portal. A Right-of-Way Use Permit is required for any work in the city right-of-way: plans and a traffic control plan must be stamped by a Washington-licensed civil engineer, the contractor needs a City of SeaTac business license, bonds are set at 120% of the cost for most projects, and rights under the permit lapse 180 days after issuance unless the work is complete.
A clearing and grading permit applies at 50 cubic yards or more of cut or fill, 7,000 square feet or more of land disturbance, or 2,000 square feet of new or replaced impervious surface, though single-family projects can skip the separate permit if equivalent plans are submitted with the building permit. Retaining walls and rockeries up to 4 feet from the bottom of the footing that don't support a surcharge are exempt from a building permit.
SeaTac concrete FAQs
Do I need a permit to replace a driveway connection in SeaTac?
Yes. SeaTac requires a Right-of-Way Use Permit for any work in the city right-of-way, including driveway connections, sidewalks, curbs, and gutters. The Public Works Engineering Review Division reviews the application, and plans must be stamped by a Washington-licensed professional civil engineer.
How long is a SeaTac right-of-way permit good for?
SeaTac's Class C right-of-way permit form says that if the permitted work isn't completed 180 days after the permit is issued, the permittee loses all rights under it. The form also requires the job start to be called in at least 24 hours ahead.
When does a SeaTac project need a clearing and grading permit?
A clearing and grading permit applies when a project includes 50 cubic yards or more of cut or fill, 7,000 square feet or more of land-disturbing activity, or 2,000 square feet of new or replaced impervious surface such as concrete. Single-family dwellings and additions are exempt from the separate permit if equivalent plans are submitted with the building permit.
