In a December 1987 internal memorandum, Port of Seattle development and aviation directors recommended that the Port Commission endorse King County's SeaTac Area Plan Update with specific conditions. Key qualifications included transferring noise-mitigation properties north of the airport to King County for a new public park, supporting south airport access road development contingent on an Interstate 5 connection, and endorsing plans for a Veterans Cemetery. The Port also urged King County to remain flexible on land use designations if community-driven proposals proved more beneficial to neighboring residents and property owners.Open full document
