This December 2016 presentation by University of Washington Professor Tim Larson examines ultrafine particles (UFPs) — tiny airborne particles smaller than 0.1 micrometers — found near airports, with a focus on emissions from aircraft and other combustion sources. Conducted in collaboration with researchers from UW and USC, the study explores how these microscopic particles, which are far smaller than diesel smoke or tobacco smoke particles, may pose environmental and health concerns for communities near airports like Sea-Tac. The research provides scientific context for understanding air quality impacts associated with airport operations.

Meeting notes from a November 7, 2016 aviation capacity and air freight session held at SeaTac International Airport, covering topics such as top cargo commodities, airport capacity constraints, and cargo data tracking challenges. Speakers including port commissioners, WSDOT representatives, and airport managers discussed Sea-Tac's approaching operational capacity, the heavy reliance on passenger belly cargo, and the potential for other Washington airports like Spokane and Moses Lake to absorb freight demand. The group explored possible next steps including an air freight study, shipper outreach, and intermodal coordination strategies.

These are the approved minutes from the Port of Seattle Commission's regular meeting held on March 9, 2010, covering routine administrative and operational matters such as staff recognitions, security service contracts, and facility maintenance approvals. The meeting included the introduction of new Fire Chief Randy Krause, recognition of the 2009 Firefighter of the Year, and authorization of various contracts including printer procurement for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport passenger processing. Note that this document does not contain Sea-Tac Airport noise policy content, as it focuses primarily on general port operations and infrastructure decisions.
