StART reform demands: Transparency, accountability, and process improvements
This document outlines community and city grievances against the Port of Seattle regarding the StART (Sea-Tac Roundtable) stakeholder process, demanding greater transparency, accountability, and audio-visual recording of meetings. It criticizes the Port for making vague bad-faith allegations against unnamed citizen members, issuing one-sided press releases about StART's successes without member consent, and failing to respond to long-standing requests from neighboring cities like Burien and Des Moines. The document calls for charter reforms to prevent StART from being used as a marketing tool or as legal evidence of community engagement. -

StART options
This document outlines the history of the StART (Sea-Tac Airport Roundtable) process, explaining why the cities of Burien, Des Moines, and Federal Way suspended their participation in summer 2019. The cities cited the Port of Seattle's decision to spend $10 million on design work for the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) without completing environmental review or meaningfully consulting affected communities. Additional concerns included the Port's conduct at meetings, misrepresentation of community viewpoints, and a general feeling among city residents that their participation was being used to rubber-stamp Port decisions rather than genuinely influence them. -

North Sea-Tac Park planning maps: Passive, modified passive, active/passive, and active options
This document presents four conceptual land-use plans for North Sea-Tac Park, ranging from 'Passive' to 'Active' configurations, each showing different proposed recreational facilities such as tennis courts, golf courses, archery targets, baseball fields, and exercise trails. Handwritten annotations question the fate of certain features, including the Highline Athletic Complex and a 'little league field,' and note that a golf course of approximately 120 acres was considered in connection with Boulevard School and Club Moore. The plans appear to be early planning documents exploring how the park land could be developed or preserved under varying levels of recreational activity.
