SR509 Surplus Land Purchase: Supporting Development of the Des Moines Creek West Property

In February 2021, the Port of Seattle Commission was asked to authorize the purchase of a 14.3-acre strip of former SR-509 highway right-of-way from WSDOT for approximately $3.15 million. The land, located in Des Moines, WA adjacent to the Port's Des Moines Creek West property, was intended to support development near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
