The Burien Airport Committee held meetings in October and November 2025 to discuss issues related to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, including updates on a multi-city interlocal agreement, a Port package letter, and the FAA's finding of non-significance on the NEPA study for the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP). The committee also addressed legislative priorities, community engagement strategies, and coordination with neighboring cities such as Des Moines regarding airport noise and expansion concerns. Members voted to invite a SEPA process representative to a future meeting to further discuss potential impacts on the surrounding community.

The cities of Burien, Des Moines, and SeaTac are joining forces under a formal Interlocal Agreement to coordinate their review of and legal response to the Port of Seattle's Sea-Tac Airport Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP), which could bring significant noise and environmental impacts to surrounding communities. The agreement, considered by Des Moines City Council on November 13, 2025, allows the three cities to jointly hire environmental consultants and legal counsel to analyze and formally challenge the airport expansion's environmental review under both federal (NEPA) and state (SEPA) law. A Draft Environmental Impact Statement from the Port is expected in early 2026, with the overall process estimated to conclude by December 31, 2028.
