In September 2018, the cities of SeaTac, Burien, Normandy Park, and Des Moines jointly submitted scoping comments on the Port of Seattle's Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, raising concerns about the growing impacts of airport expansion on their communities. The cities argued that the environmental review must cover the entire SAMP—not just near-term construction projects—to fully account for cumulative impacts including increased aircraft noise, air emissions, and traffic congestion in nearby residential neighborhoods. They also called for a baseline assessment stretching back to 2012 to capture significant growth that has already occurred without adequate environmental review.

In September 2018, the cities of SeaTac, Burien, Normandy Park, and Des Moines jointly wrote to the Port of Seattle urging a broader environmental review of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The cities expressed concern that limiting the review to only near-term construction projects would ignore the cumulative noise, air quality, and traffic impacts already burdening their communities. They called on the Port to assess impacts from 2012 onward, include the full long-term SAMP in the environmental analysis, and consider alternative airport sites as part of the review.
