Legal Department

The SeaTac Legal Department consists of four primary divisions:

1. Civil Division: The Civil division provides legal advice to the City Council, City Manager, and all officers, departments, and committees of the City.
2. Risk Management: Risk Management is comprised of three separate but important functions: managing insurance, managing claims and litigation, and mitigating risk.
3. City Clerk/Records: The City Clerk is the vital link between the City Council, City Manager, City departments, and residents. The City Clerk maintains a record of Council proceedings, prepares City Council agendas, minutes, and packets, manages the membership of Citizen Advisory Committees, and preserves City records and processes requests for records in compliance with the Public Records Act, Chapter 42.56 RCW.
4. Criminal: The Criminal division prosecutes both criminal misdemeanor cases and civil violations such as, traffic infractions and code compliance cases in the SeaTac Municipal Court. This division also provides extensive victim and crisis intervention advocacy for victims of crime, and community members in crisis.

Legal advice for residents

The Legal Department can’t give legal advice to residents. To get legal help, you’ll need your own lawyer.
