KSEA field & runways
Seattle-Tacoma Intl, Seattle, Washington. Field elevation 432 ft. Class B airspace. Towered. Magnetic variation 16.0°E on record, 14.8°E today.
The FAA's variation of record is the number this field was surveyed against; the second is where north points now, from WMM2025. It is moving 0.123°/year west — about 1° every 8 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
