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.

The Soundside Alliance, a coalition of communities affected by Sea-Tac Airport operations, used this forum to coordinate regional policy priorities related to airport noise and development impacts.

In October 2012, the Highline Forum and Southwest King County Economic Development Initiative (SKCEDI) sent thank-you letters to Washington State Representatives Zack Hudgins and Tina Orwall for attending a joint meeting on September 26, 2012, at the Des Moines Senior Center. The letters acknowledged the representatives' candid discussion about legislative expectations in Olympia and expressed plans to continue conversations about the 2013 Economic Development Legislative Positions for Southwest King County. The correspondence was signed by Normandy Park Councilmember Marion Yoshino and Burien Deputy Mayor Rose Clark on behalf of both organizations.

While focused primarily on regional governance and economic development, the forum brought together representatives from cities near Sea-Tac Airport, including Burien, SeaTac, Tukwila, and the Port of Seattle.
