Seattle-Tacoma International Airport sits at the heart of this mid-century survey, surrounded by the rapidly developing suburban landscape of south King County. The map details a transition from the saltwater shores of Puget Sound to the industrial and residential corridors of Tukwila and Kent. Established community centers like Burien and Des Moines are shown with their networks of local schools and churches, including St Bernadette Sch and Highline High Sch.
