Lansing​ ​is​ ​the​ ​only​ ​U.S.​ ​state​ ​capital​ ​(among​ ​the​ ​47​ ​located​ ​in​ ​counties)​ ​that​ ​is​ ​not​ ​also​ ​a county​ ​seat.​ ​The​ ​seat​ ​of​ ​government​ ​of​ ​Ingham​ ​County​ ​is​ ​Mason,​ ​but​ ​the​ ​county maintains​ ​some​ ​offices​ ​in​ ​Lansing. Lansing​ ​is​ ​the​ ​centerpiece​ ​of​ ​a​ ​region​ ​of​ ​Michigan​ ​known​ ​as​ ​Mid-Michigan​ ​or​ ​Central Michigan. The​ ​North​ ​Lansing​ ​dam​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Grand​ ​River.​ ​The​ ​Lansing​ ​River​ ​Trail​ ​and​ ​Ottawa​ ​Street Power​ ​Station​ ​are​ ​visible​ ​behind.

Under​ ​Michigan​ ​law,​ ​425​ ​Agreements​ ​are​ ​only​ ​temporary​ ​land​ ​sharing​ ​agreements,​ ​and do​ ​not​ ​count​ ​as​ ​official​ ​annexations.​ ​The​ ​Census​ ​Bureau,​ ​however,​ ​for​ ​statistical purposes​ ​does​ ​count​ ​these​ ​as​ ​annexations.​ ​Not​ ​counting​ ​the​ ​temporary​ ​425​ ​Agreements, Lansing​​ ​administers​ ​34.1​ ​square​ ​miles​ ​(88​ ​km2)​ ​total.
