Three Washington cities near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport — Burien, Des Moines, and SeaTac — filed a legal challenge on November 24, 2025, asking a federal appeals court to review the FAA's September 2025 decision approving near-term construction and expansion projects under the airport's Sustainable Airport Master Plan. The cities argue the FAA's environmental finding, known as a FONSI/ROD, should be scrutinized by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which has jurisdiction because the cities are located within that circuit.

2025-10-09City of Burien letter to Port Of Seattle Commissioners regarding failed noise insulation packages
The City of Burien sent this October 2025 letter to Port of Seattle Commissioners demanding a new, Port-funded program to repair or replace failed noise insulation packages installed in roughly 9,400 homes near Sea-Tac Airport since the mid-1980s. The city criticizes the Port's existing pilot program (SIRRPP) as inadequate, noting that none of the 30 homes evaluated qualified for repair or replacement and that many affected homes fall outside the boundary eligible for federal funding. Burien urges the Port to stop relying on federal or state dollars and instead model a solution after San Francisco International Airport's locally funded approach.
