The five-year strategic plan for King County International Airport-Boeing Field (KCIA) establishes six strategic goals—engage, ensure, invest, plan, promote, and support—to guide the airport’s mission and vision through 2030. The plan was developed collaboratively with the Airport Roundtable, tenants, and community members, and aligns with King County’s True North and Values. It was approved by

This is a campus map for the Museum of Flight in Seattle, showing the layout of its East and West campuses along East Marginal Way South adjacent to Boeing Field. The map identifies key buildings and galleries, outdoor aircraft displays including a B-52G Stratofortress, F/A-18A Hornet, and Lockheed Super Constellation, as well as parking areas, bus stops, and entrance points. It does not contain information related to Sea-Tac Airport noise policy.

This document is the FAA's official Record of Approval for King County International Airport/Boeing Field's (Boeing Field/BFI) Noise Compatibility Program under Federal Aviation Regulation Part 150. It outlines six key recommendations to reduce aircraft noise impacts on nearby residents, including developing combined noise contours with Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, implementing quieter flight approach and departure procedures, and upgrading noise monitoring systems. The FAA reviewed and issued determinations on each recommendation, approving most measures on a voluntary basis while noting that approvals do not constitute commitments to implement the actions.

A King County task force report examines aircraft emissions from airports including Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and King County International Airport (KCIA), finding that aviation accounts for 15 percent of King County's total emissions and disproportionately harms nearby frontline communities. The report identifies key challenges to reducing aviation pollution at the local level, including limited regulatory authority and immature clean-energy technologies. Near-term recommendations focus on improving air quality around airports and phasing out leaded aviation fuel, while acknowledging that significant emissions reductions are unlikely in the short to medium term.

The Beacon Hill Community Noise Team is a Seattle resident group that documented excessive noise pollution from Sea-Tac and King County airports, as well as road traffic, across 52 neighborhood sites in 2018. Their measurements found that more than half of recorded noise levels exceeded FAA mitigation thresholds, Seattle city ordinances, and EPA public health standards by up to 800%. The group is calling on local, state, and federal officials to take action, citing compounding health and socioeconomic burdens already faced by Beacon Hill's nearly 40,000 residents.
