WHEREAS, the City of SeaTac, Washington has determined that certain improvements
to International Boulevard in the vicinity of South 160th Street are necessary; and

Boulevard improvements commenced, and in accordance with Sections 19.12.010 and
19.30.030 of the Tukwila Municipal Code, any non conforming sign that is relocated must be
altered to allow for compliance; and
WHEREAS, no action would be necessary except for the City of SeaTac's need for this

the property owner to strictly apply Tukwila Municipal Code Chapters 19.12 and 19.30 to
pre- existing signs being moved on the behest of a public agency; and
WHEREAS, relocation of the signs is for the public welfare, safety and benefit, and is not
