    A commercial passenger jet, appearing to be a narrow-body aircraft possibly in Alaska Airlines livery, is photographed from below against a partly cloudy blue sky. Concentric elliptical rings, representing aircraft noise or radar signal propagation, are digitally overlaid and centered on the aircraft, likely created for illustrative use in an aviation noise or airspace policy context.

    2017 Q4 NorthSTAR program and North Satellite project (CIP C800556) briefing

    This January 2018 Port of Seattle Commission briefing provides a quarterly update on the NorthSTAR Program, a joint Port of Seattle and Alaska Airlines effort to renovate and expand the North Satellite terminal at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The project involves growing the facility from 12 to 20 contact gates, modernizing existing infrastructure, and upgrading baggage handling systems, with construction on schedule and approximately $98.3 million spent of a $658.3 million budget. Key completed milestones include FAA-approved crane operations, structural steel erection, and installation of rainwater harvest tanks, while ongoing work includes chilled water piping replacement and escalator upgrades.

    Seattle-Tacoma International Airport competition plan June 13, 2014

    Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's 2014 Competition Plan outlines how the airport manages its 79 gate positions across six concourses, with 65 gates preferentially leased by airlines and 14 controlled as common-use gates by the Port of Seattle. The plan describes policies ensuring fair access for new and existing carriers, prohibiting exclusive gate leases, and setting rates to recover costs without cross-subsidies. It also details gate monitoring procedures and expansion plans for the North Satellite terminal to accommodate growing demand from carriers such as Alaska Airlines and Delta.

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
