    (Draft) Joint letter from City of Burien, City of Des Moines, and City of SeaTac to Port Of Seattle Commissioners regarding SAMP environmental review

    The mayors of Burien, Des Moines, and SeaTac jointly wrote to Port of Seattle Commissioners in 2026 to challenge the claim that airport expansion projects outlined in the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) would have no significant impact on neighboring communities. The letter highlights concerns about aircraft noise, air pollution, traffic, and disproportionate burdens on historically disadvantaged residents living closest to the airport. The cities also demand that the public comment period for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement be extended from 60 to at least 120 days to allow for meaningful community review.

    Request for 90-day extension to SAMP SEPA draft EIS comment period

    The cities of SeaTac, Burien, and Des Moines jointly wrote to the Port of Seattle on May 18, 2026, requesting a 90-day public comment period for the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) Draft Environmental Impact Statement. The cities cited the document's technical complexity, overlapping regional demands including 2026 FIFA World Cup preparations, summer scheduling constraints, and unresolved concerns from the prior federal environmental review as reasons more time is needed. The letter was signed by the SEPA Responsible Officials from all three cities and emphasizes that airport-related impacts on noise, air quality, transportation, and public health directly affect their communities.

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.
