SeaTac is home to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and boasts that it has approximately 6,000 hotel rooms. Local leaders expect a number of those rooms will be filled with World Cup fans this summer.

The city is partnering with the local tourism authority Explore Seattle Southside to distribute naloxone to approximately 30 hotels.

SeaTac Deputy Mayor Senayet Negusse said the city needs to be proactive, especially since the region already sees a high number of overdose deaths. In 2025, King County reported 914 confirmed overdose deaths, the majority involving fentanyl.
