This March 25, 2014 Sound Transit briefing document, presented to the SeaTac City Council, outlines the South 200th Link Extension project—a 1.6-mile elevated light rail extension from the SeaTac/Airport Station to a new Angle Lake Station, including a parking garage. The project was scheduled for construction between 2013 and 2016, with a planned opening for service in Fall 2016, and carried a total budget of $383.2 million.

Des Moines Creek Parks, located near Sea-Tac Airport in the cities of SeaTac and Des Moines, Washington, offers a multi-use trail system with a 15 MPH speed limit, helmet requirements for cyclists, and a dawn-to-dusk schedule. The park prohibits alcohol, firearms, camping, fires, and motorized vehicles, while requiring pets to remain on leash. A regional partnership between the Cities of SeaTac and Des Moines, Port of Seattle, King County, and the Washington State Department of Transportation has led to ecological restoration efforts along Des Moines Creek, including stormwater detention facilities, high-flow bypass pipes, fish passage improvements, and native plant restoration to support salmon and other wildlife.

This March 27, 2013 'State of SeaTac' presentation was delivered at the Highline Forum by the City of SeaTac. It provides an overview of the city's vision and goals, spotlights major projects and primary initiatives, and includes key statistics: a population of 27,210, an area of 10.3 square miles, 37,142 jobs, and a city incorporation date of 1990.

The Highline Forum is a collaborative body representing Southwest King County cities, schools, and the Port of Seattle that meets to share information and work on regional initiatives. A March 27, 2013 meeting held at SeaTac City Hall focused on transportation topics, including the SR 509 Extension/I-5 Improvement Project and a status update on the Port of Seattle's Part 150 noise study, which directly relates to Sea-Tac Airport noise mitigation policy. The Forum operates by consensus and is governed by procedures that assign the Port of Seattle as the lead disseminator of all Forum-related information.

SeaTac lawmakers voted to rescind a controversial eminent domain ordinance targeting a privately owned parking lot near the airport light-rail station, while also hearing a retail and entertainment feasibility study for an 82-acre proposed city center development adjacent to the airport. Separately, a public workshop on SeaTac Airport's Part 150 Noise Study—which examines ways to reduce aircraft noise impacts on surrounding communities—was scheduled for February 24 at Mount Rainier High School in Des Moines. The workshop was part of an ongoing public engagement process inviting residents to participate in shaping noise-reduction solutions and recommendations.

This is Amendment No. 3 to a 2005 Interlocal Agreement between the Port of Seattle and the City of SeaTac, entered into on February 16, 2006, governing transportation planning and funding around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The amendment updates project management responsibilities and budget allocations for capital improvement projects, including the South Access roadway, SR 518 improvements, and the South Link Project on 28th Ave. S., funded through a local parking tax. It establishes rules for how parking tax revenues are divided among projects and outlines corrective actions if actual revenues fall short of forecasts.
