The City of SeaTac has invited Construction Technology students from Puget Sound Skill Center (PSSC) to participate in the city's 20-year anniversary celebration.

As part of SeaTac's anniversary, PSSC students will cut out materials needed to assemble bird houses, which will allow the youngest members of the community, along with their parents or guardians, to go through a simulated process of building a home in SeaTac.

Participating children will make an application for a building permit and use GIS survey information to locate their homes. They will then designate a site plan for their bird house by selecting a tree or other feature in their yard as a location for it.

After building their bird houses, they will call for an inspection and finally, get a certificate of occupancy.

According to Gary Schenk, SeaTac Building Official, and Joyce Mullin, Permit Technician, the event will be a fun way to teach environmental stewardship and civic involvement.
