In February 2020, the Port of Seattle Commission passed Motion 2020-04, directing the Port's Executive Director to accelerate the sound insulation program at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and complete it no later than 2026. The motion calls for implementing the necessary staffing, funding, and contracting resources to deliver the program on time, while coordinating with other public agencies to complement — rather than duplicate — existing programs for low-income housing and energy upgrades. Port staff are required to regularly brief the Commission's Aviation Committee on progress and provide a preliminary implementation plan alongside the 2021 budget approval.Open full document
