This draft planning document outlines west sub-area policies near Sea-Tac Airport, addressing noise impact reduction, environmental concerns, and land use transitions. Key provisions include halting mass property acquisition for noise mitigation, installing sanitary sewers near Miller Creek, controlling stormwater runoff from new airport development, and planting shade trees along local waterways. The document also proposes orderly conversion of single-family residential areas to higher-intensity uses, coordinated with the construction of S.R. 509 as a western boundary for redevelopment.

Notes from a 1973 community meeting series capture residents near Sea-Tac Airport expressing frustration over airport noise, inadequate government responsiveness, and the handling of Zone 3 acquisition areas.

The document reflects widespread public distrust of the planning process and demands for more transparent, community-informed decision-making on airport expansion and noise impacts.

This exploratory draft outlines a proposed Post Project Coordination Study aimed at ensuring the continued implementation of programs developed under the Sea-Tac Communities Plan. It identifies key areas requiring coordination, including aircraft noise reduction, drainage improvements, community action programs, and land use controls, with principal agencies such as the Port of Seattle and King County playing central roles. The document also highlights the need for legislative advocacy at both the state and federal levels, as well as potential follow-up studies to fully carry out the plan's recommendations.

The Greater Highline Community Parks Board was organized in early 1981 to represent the local community in developing the North Sea-Tac Park, a project arising from the Port of Seattle's acquisition of land severely impacted by airplane noise from Sea-Tac Airport. The development plan included steps such as securing a master lease with the Port of Seattle, organizing sports and recreation programs, cleaning up and improving the site, and potentially taking over Sunset School for community use. Key milestones between 1980 and 1981 included a $30,000 master plan study, approvals from both the Port of Seattle Commission and King County, and a bid by the Parks Board on all Sunset School buildings contingent on obtaining the master lease.
