Narrative:

ZSE called on IFR inbound on a hawker as 15 east of paine. I had a C172 (aircraft Y) inbound on a left base. Initial call from the hawker (aircraft X) was 3 east. I sidestepped the C172 to our parallel runway as the hawker was overtaking him. The problem is ZSE believes our class D airspace belongs to IFR aircraft (per a conversation with my manager). Late frequency changes are not uncommon and sometimes create an unsafe situation.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: PAE CTLR REQUIRED TO CHANGE LNDG SEQUENCE WITH C172 WHEN ZSE XFERS LATE COM WITH IFR INBOUND H25C.

Narrative: ZSE CALLED ON IFR INBOUND ON A HAWKER AS 15 E OF PAINE. I HAD A C172 (ACFT Y) INBOUND ON A L BASE. INITIAL CALL FROM THE HAWKER (ACFT X) WAS 3 E. I SIDESTEPPED THE C172 TO OUR PARALLEL RWY AS THE HAWKER WAS OVERTAKING HIM. THE PROB IS ZSE BELIEVES OUR CLASS D AIRSPACE BELONGS TO IFR ACFT (PER A CONVERSATION WITH MY MGR). LATE FREQ CHANGES ARE NOT UNCOMMON AND SOMETIMES CREATE AN UNSAFE SIT.
