The City of Normandy Park, Washington completed several infrastructure improvement projects in 2017-18, including a $330,000 sidewalk project on 1st Avenue, a $2.2 million stormwater and paving project serving 250 homes in the Manhattan View area, and a $1.6 million Normandy Road Project. Additional work included a $375,000 road overlay on Marine View Drive and $25,000 in Recreation Center sidewalk and access improvements.

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.

The Highline Forum held its September 26, 2018 meeting in Normandy Park, focusing on SR 509 and SR 518 transportation projects alongside Seattle-Tacoma International Airport-related topics. The agenda included updates on the Sustainable Airport Master Plan, the StART (Sea-Tac Airport Roundtable) community engagement program, and airport noise programs, presented by Port of Seattle officials. Infrastructure improvements in Normandy Park and a WSDOT briefing on regional highway gateway projects were also on the agenda.

Normandy Park City Manager Mark Hoppen outlines the city's efforts to address Sea-Tac Airport noise and air quality concerns, noting that direct lawsuits against the FAA have had limited success. Key initiatives include a joint jurisdictional response to the Sustainable Airport Master Plan, a Washington State baseline airport conditions study, and a University of Washington ultrafine particulates study aimed at building evidence for federal health-based legislation. Residents are encouraged to review two StART Meeting presentations on aircraft noise and arrival altitudes, particularly slide 37 of the Altitude Analysis, which shows an increase in cargo flights potentially linked to local noise complaints.

The Final Highline Forum, hosted by the City of Normandy Park on November 19, 2014, brought together local officials and community members at King County Fire District #2 Fire Station to discuss the theme of Partnerships. The agenda included a State of the City address by City Manager Glenn Akramoff, public comments, and planning for 2015 forum topics. Attendees met at John Knox Presbyterian Church and were shuttled to the fire station due to limited parking.

This document is a presentation from a Highline Forum community meeting held on November 19, 2014, at the Normandy Park Fire Department in Normandy Park, Washington. It introduces the City of Normandy Park and includes a section titled 'About Normandy Park: Emerging from the Ashes,' suggesting discussion of the city's recovery or revitalization efforts. While hosted in the Sea-Tac area, the document does not appear to contain specific noise policy content but may be relevant as context for regional community concerns.

The Miller and Walker Creeks Basin Plan Appendices, published in February 2006, is a regional watershed management document developed collaboratively by King County, the City of Burien, the City of SeaTac, the City of Normandy Park, the Port of Seattle, and the Washington State Department of Transportation. The plan addresses stormwater, habitat, and water quality issues within the Miller and Walker Creek drainage basins located near the Sea-Tac Airport area. It provides technical appendices to support basin-wide strategies for managing creek health and flood-related impacts in this urbanized watershed.

A Normandy Park resident and aerospace engineering manager submitted detailed comments in November 1996 criticizing a draft impact study related to Sea-Tac Airport's proposed Third Runway, arguing that the analysis underestimated real estate value losses, air pollution risks, and traffic disruptions caused by the project. The letter contends that home values in Normandy Park stagnated or declined after the Third Runway was publicly announced, and that any valid property value assessment must use baseline figures from before negative publicity began. The author also challenges the study's air quality modeling assumptions and traffic analysis, warning that the Port of Seattle would selectively cite favorable findings while ignoring methodological flaws.
