The City hosted the annual volunteer appreciation Oct. 10 at the SeaTac Community Center.
This event is typically annual but was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic. However, staff wrote and sent thank you cards during those years to show the City’s
gratitude for all of our volunteer’s hard work.
This year, event attendees totaled 65 comprising of volunteers, staff, Mayor Jake Simpson, Councilmembers Peter Kwon and Iris Guzmán, and City Manager Carl Cole. The City
Council and staff were thankful to gather once again to show appreciation for the countless time and effort given by volunteers.
