    The current Port of Seattle grant programs began in 2016 with a proposal by Commissioner John Creighton–responding to the uproar over the Flight Corridor Safety Program. As the name implies, the Airport Community Ecology (ACE) Fund (2016–2020) was meant as an environmental grants program. In late 2018 the Port created a separate, much broader South

    The Southeast Asian Refugee Alliance, based in Tukwila, WA, submitted a sample grant application requesting $17,725 to improve Crestview Park by installing a swing set, multilingual welcome signs, and planting 15 native trees and shrubs. The one-year project, fiscally sponsored by the Environmental Stewardship Group, also includes weekly volunteer cleanup events and a community welcome celebration aimed at making the park more accessible to the local Southeast Asian refugee population. The project site at 2343 Legion Blvd falls within the Near-Airport Cities eligible geographic region, specifically serving the Tukwila community.

    The Gift of Public Funds Bogeyman

    ★ 32
    This 2025 Washington Law Review article argues that Washington State's 'gift of public funds' doctrine—which prohibits governments from giving away public assets—is widely misunderstood and far less restrictive than most officials believe. The authors, both attorneys in Washington's Solicitor General's Office, explain that modern court interpretations allow governments broad flexibility to fund programs serving legitimate public purposes, and note that no appellate court has struck down any government program under this doctrine in the past 45 years. The article urges public officials and lawyers to stop letting unfounded fears about this doctrine block innovative policy solutions to problems like homelessness, childcare, and climate change.

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.
