The Port of Seattle Commission held a Regular Commission Meeting on February 11, 2025, during which a Proclamation was issued commemorating the Day of Remembrance (February 19th) and honoring Japanese Americans affected by Executive Order 9066, which authorized the forced incarceration of over 120,000 people of Japanese descent during World War II. The proclamation acknowledges Washington State's unique connection to this history, condemns acts of vandalism and discrimination, and reaffirms the Commission's commitment to equity, civil liberties, and justice for all.

This February 2025 operations overview from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) reviews 2024 performance and looks ahead to 2025, including the summer international flight season. In 2024, SEA handled over 52.6 million total passengers—a 3.4% increase over the prior year—along with 434,321 total aircraft operations, up 2.8% from 2023. The document provides monthly breakdowns of both passenger traffic and aircraft movements, with peak activity occurring during the summer months of June through August.

The StART Aviation Noise Working Group met in February 2025 to review Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's Late Night Noise Limitation Program, which tracks aircraft noise between midnight and 5 AM and found 8% of operations exceeded thresholds in Q4 2025. The group decided against expanding the program to cover 11 PM–midnight, as most flights in that hour already use quieter aircraft and the change would triple monitored operations with little noise-reduction benefit. Additional updates covered a significant drop in propeller aircraft turns over Burien, progress on the Sound Insulation Program, and action items including a new 5–6 AM operations analysis and a multi-year trends chart.

The Port of Seattle Commission held a regular meeting on January 28, 2025, at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's Conference Center, covering routine business such as approval of meeting minutes, claims and obligations totaling over $101 million, and several collective bargaining agreements with airport workers. Key agenda items included a joint marketing agreement with Washington State Tourism worth up to $1.5 million to promote international tourism, as well as authorization for dredging project contracts and airline technical representative services. The meeting was open to the public both in person and virtually via Microsoft Teams.
