Puget Sound Regional Council Annual Report 2022

The Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) 2022 Annual Report highlights key regional planning achievements, including the opening of the Northgate Link Light Rail Extension, the adoption of the region's first Regional Housing Strategy, and updates to the Regional Transportation Plan. The report also notes the passage of the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Washington State's Move Ahead transportation package, which together provide historic funding for transit, roads, bridges, and ferries. While focused broadly on regional growth and transportation planning for the central Puget Sound area, this document does not address Sea-Tac Airport noise policy specifically.
