This 2018 interlocal agreement between the City of Des Moines and the Port of Seattle outlines a cost-sharing arrangement for street improvements along South 216th Street, adjacent to the Des Moines Creek West (DMC-W) property near Sea-Tac Airport. The Port agreed to pay $1.5 million toward road upgrades accommodating pedestrians, cyclists, transit, and freight, with that payment credited against any future transportation impact fees tied to DMC-W development. The agreement also sets the stage for long-term ground leasing and commercial development of the approximately 20-acre DMC-W site to generate jobs and revenue for both parties.
