The Port of Seattle Commission issued Order No. 2024-12 in October 2024, directing its Executive Director to take the steps necessary under Section 706 of the 2024 FAA Reauthorization Act to permanently designate the 55-acre North SeaTac Park for recreational and public park use. The order requires the development of legally binding frameworks, a preferred protection methodology reported to the Commission by Q2 2025, and at least $150,000 in the 2025 budget for park improvements in partnership with the City of SeaTac. This action aims to ensure the park remains a permanent community and ecological asset, shielded from future aeronautical or commercial redevelopment.

In this January 25, 1979 letter, Washington State Representative John Jovanovich (31st District) writes to Ms. Jean Pihlman explaining that the Sea-Tac Comprehensive Plan (STCP), adopted by the Port of Seattle and King County, primarily addresses the airport and its noise-impacted areas. He urges that citizen representatives on the Policy Advisory Committee — the body responsible for monitoring the plan — should come directly from the noise-impacted communities, so that their needs are properly understood by decision-makers.

This 1978 document outlines the structure and functions of a Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) formed to oversee implementation of the Sea-Tac Airport Communities Plan, including long-term monitoring of airport noise issues and making recommendations to King County and Port of Seattle officials. The 12-member committee draws representatives from King County, local governments, businesses, schools, airlines, and community citizens. It also details noise exemption rules for daytime aircraft testing and maintenance at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, specifying conditions such as permitted hours (7 a.m. to 10 p.m.) and geographic boundaries defined by the 'NEF 45' noise exposure contour line.
