The Burien City Council met on November 20, 2023 to consider accepting a King County offer of $1 million and 35 pallet shelters to establish emergency temporary housing for homeless residents, with the offer set to expire November 27, 2023. The council reviewed several potential sites, including a vacant lot in Boulevard Park and a Seattle City Light-owned lot, as well as potential funding sources from city ARPA allocations across economic development and human services budgets. No action was required if the council chose not to proceed, but a motion template was provided for selecting a site and funding source if they wished to move forward.

The Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) 2022 Annual Report highlights the organization's key regional planning achievements, including the adoption of the first-ever Regional Housing Strategy, an update to the Regional Transportation Plan, and $102 million in funding for the Northgate Extension of Link Light Rail. The report also notes the passage of the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Washington State's Move Ahead transportation package as significant funding milestones for transit, bridges, and roads in the central Puget Sound region.

The City of Burien's 2021 Federal Legislative Priorities outline the city's goals for reducing SeaTac Airport noise and emissions, including supporting a regional coalition of elected officials, encouraging the FAA to complete health and environmental studies mandated by the 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act, and backing legislation such as the Aviation Impacted Communities Act. Burien also calls for re-examining the DNL 65 noise standard and increasing funding for airport emission reduction projects. These priorities reflect the city's ongoing efforts to protect residents from the impacts of airport operations while pursuing mitigation funding tied to the Sustainable Airport Master Plan.

This 1973 preliminary technical report, prepared by the King County Office of Community and Environmental Development, examines community trends and characteristics in the SeaTac Communities Plan Study Area.

The report serves as an early planning document providing baseline demographic and economic context for the communities surrounding Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

This 1971 technical report, prepared by Theodore J. Schultz of Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc. for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), provides the scientific and technical background for noise abatement measures in HUD's housing programs. It supports HUD's guidelines for assessing noise exposure at residential sites, offering detailed evaluation procedures for determining acceptable noise levels near housing developments. The report was originally published in September 1970 and later revised to align with updated HUD noise exposure assessment guidelines.
