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.

The comparison is used to evaluate StART (Sea-Tac Airport Roundtable), which currently lacks most of these features, with the BAC (Boeing Airport Committee) flagging items such as public recordings and expert witness inclusion as highest priorities. The findings highlight significant gaps between StART's current practices and the more transparent, publicly accessible models used at other major airports. -
