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.
