Talk:SeaTac, Washington

message: According to the article as written now, SeaTac was the first city to spell its name in CamelCase. The article for WaKeeney, Kansas seems to indicate (although does not say) that their city had the internal capitalization since it was founded in 1879. This would beat SeaTac's claim of 1990 by a long shot. However, I can't confirm it, so I'm just going to leave a note here. Trvsdrlng (talk) 06:58, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I noticed that a while back and thought it was a dubious claim. For example there are several towns named McArthur. I can't think of any sense in which it can be said to be the first. I meant to pursue it at the time but got involved with other things. Gr8white (talk) 06:03, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I think the airline offices should be listed in SeaTac because it fits in with the economy being based on aviation. Also there are few other companies in the city; it has 25,496 people and most of the other companies I have in mind are based in Seattle, Redmond, and other cities - not SeaTac.

message: The term "Inner-Ring" is not well defined and I would suggest it is inappropriate here because of its distance from Seattle and because it should be distinguished between legitimately "inner-ring" suburb cities, like Renton, Tukwila, and Edmonds, all of which actually share a border with Seattle.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.121.149.146 (talk) 01:33, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

message: What is with the "History" section? It's just a blurb, and that blurb doesn't mean anything. It's like a sentence taken out of some random text and placed here without context; a "jet fueller or baggage handler count earn a decent living"? What does that even mean? Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? Is it saying that the town has gone downhill, or what?
It needs more history. I'm assuming from other comments that it once had more detail, because I see something about the town being named "SeaTac" in 1990. Was it not an incorporated town before that? Why "SeaTac"? Was it a small town called "Tacoma" before, and now that it's a suburb of Seattle, it is called "SeaTac", short for "Seattle-Tacoma"? Details! We've got all kinds of trivia about council members and schools, but nothing at all about where the town came from, why, or why it ended up with such an unusual name.

message: The Ancestry place location database has this place listed as Sea-Tac (with hyphen). Is there any definitive place we can look to confirm the actual spelling? Thanks. JimScott (talk) 05:40, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Ignore this ... the SeaTac web site (http://www.ci.seatac.wa.us/) doesn't show a hyphen so the Ancestry database must be in error. JimScott (talk) 05:48, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

text: SeaTac (sans hyphen) is the city (see here). Sea-Tac (with hyphen) is the airport or the light rail station. Ancestry.com is not a reliable source. SounderBruce 05:49, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Excellent, Bruce. Thank you very kindly for the "rest of the story" (and an amusing story it is). I am not sure what the "edit conflict" is but feel free to resolve it peacefully. Best regards --JimScott (talk) 16:12, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
