This January 2021 report documents the as-built construction details of the Lora Lake Apartments Site, a project managed by the Port of Seattle's Aviation Environmental Programs at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Prepared by engineering firm Floyd|Snider, it captures the completed state of construction work at the site, which is located near the airport and subject to aviation noise considerations. The report was prepared under the supervision of licensed Professional Engineer Megan King and is intended for use by the Port of Seattle and relevant regulatory agencies.

The Puget Sound Regional Emissions Analysis is a King County-led project launched in 2021 to comprehensively measure greenhouse gas emissions across King, Kitsap, Snohomish, and Pierce counties. The project covers multiple types of emissions inventories—including community activities, consumption of goods and services, and government operations—while also modeling pathways to reduce emissions and achieve carbon neutrality. It incorporates social equity principles to address disproportionate environmental impacts on communities of color.

This prospectus, prepared by the Port of Seattle and Anchor QEA, outlines a wetland mitigation and habitat conservation umbrella bank program. It describes proposed initial and future mitigation sites including Terminal 25, Terminal 117, and an Auburn site, along with the proposed service area and site protection measures. The document provides conceptual designs, existing conditions

This document outlines the forty most frequently asked questions about the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), covering topics such as how agencies evaluate a range of alternatives, the role of environmental impact statements (EIS), and the use of environmental assessments (EA). It provides plain-language guidance on requirements like the no-action alternative, mitigation measures, public comment periods, and records of decision. While not specific to airport noise, it serves as a foundational reference for understanding the federal environmental review process that governs major infrastructure projects such as those at Sea-Tac Airport.

The Port of Seattle Commission established the Energy and Sustainability Standing Committee to develop policy recommendations and monitor progress toward the port's environmental goals, including becoming the greenest and most energy-efficient port in North America and reducing carbon emissions 50% by 2030. The committee, composed of two appointed commissioners, oversees areas such as sustainable aviation fuels, shore power for cruise ships, and clean energy planning. While it can gather information and advise the full Commission, it does not have independent legal authority to act on the Commission's behalf.
