This 1996 Final Environmental Impact Statement, prepared jointly by the FAA and the Port of Seattle, evaluates proposed development actions at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as part of a Master Plan Update. Key proposals include building a third parallel runway up to 8,500 feet long, extending an existing runway, improving passenger terminals, and expanding cargo and support facilities. The document assesses potential environmental impacts such as noise, wetland disruption, air and water quality changes, and floodplain encroachment associated with these planned improvements through the year 2020.

This document is Volume 6 of the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed Master Plan Update at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, published in February 1996. It covers planned airport improvements from 1996 to 2020, including the construction of a third parallel runway, terminal expansions, and parking upgrades, while assessing impacts on noise, air quality, wetlands, and surrounding communities. The appendix compiles public hearing transcripts and approximately 250 written comments submitted in response to the Draft EIS, addressing key concerns such as aircraft noise, air pollution, and surface transportation impacts.

This March 1995 Draft Environmental Impact Statement, prepared by Kato & Warren, Inc. for the Port of Seattle, evaluates the proposed construction of a 16-story, 384-room hotel on a 77,000-square-foot site at Sea-Tac International Airport, located between the 'D' Concourse and the airport entry drives. The hotel, which would include 10,000 square feet of meeting rooms plus a restaurant and lounge, was to be connected to the terminal and parking garage via pedestrian skybridges on land then occupied by a United Airlines office building. The document was issued for public comment under Washington State's Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), with responses due by April 20, 1995.

This March 1994 Final Environmental Impact Statement, prepared jointly by the Federal Aviation Administration's Seattle Airports District Office and the Port of Seattle, evaluates the proposed South Aviation Support Area at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The document assesses the potential environmental effects of developing aviation support facilities in the southern portion of the airport, covering impacts such as noise, land use, and related concerns. It was produced as part of the federally required environmental review process before any major airport infrastructure decisions could be approved.

This April 1979 Final Environmental Impact Statement, prepared by the Port of Seattle's Planning and Research Department, evaluates the proposed initial development of a general and corporate aviation facility on the west side of Sea-Tac International Airport. The document was issued in compliance with Washington State's Environmental Policy Act of 1971 and incorporates findings from an earlier 1977 EIS related to a Weyerhaeuser corporate aviation facility on the same site. It was distributed to government agencies, citizen groups, and interested individuals to assess the environmental effects of the proposed development.
