A July 1979 letter from planner Janis Snoey to FAA Airport Planning Branch representative George Sato transmits five pre-schematic site plans for the North Sea-Tac Park, showing projected peak-time visitor numbers under various development scenarios. The plans, prepared following an FAA meeting on July 17, 1979, are accompanied by a 'Carrying Capacity' map that classifies park areas by development suitability—from very high intensity (sports fields, motorcycle trails) to low intensity (foot paths only)—based on analysis of soils, hydrology, vegetation, and noise. The documents were intended solely to provoke discussion during the early master planning phase for the North Sea-Tac site.

This document contains materials from the first Steering Committee meeting for North Sea-Tac Park, held on July 25, 1979, as part of the North Clear Zone Recreation Plan advisory process. The committee, supported by consultants Jongejan/Gerrard/Associates, was tasked with gathering community input and developing a master plan for the park based on environmental analysis, public proposals, and FAA recommendations. Early public feedback showed a majority favoring an 18-hole golf course, while other suggestions included a greenbelt, passive park, and facilities for various age groups.

A 1979 public meeting notice from Jongejan/Gerrard Associates, Landscape Architects, inviting community members to participate in the North End Clear Zone Recreation Master Plan near Sea-Tac Airport. The kickoff meeting was held on July 10, 1979, at Glacier High School Cafeteria, where residents could share ideas about recreational use of the acquisition area north of Sea-Tac Airport and volunteer to work with consultants, the Port of Seattle, and King County. Additional public meetings were planned for August and October 1979 as part of the biweekly planning process.
