This aerial map depicts the area surrounding Sea-Tac Airport, covering portions of Burien, Tukwila, and unincorporated King County in Washington State. It highlights key landmarks including Southern Heights Elementary School, Hilltop Elementary School, Rainier Golf and Country Club, and Glen Acres Country Club, along with major roadways such as SR 99, SR 599, and Des Moines Memorial Drive S. A purple corridor overlay traces what appears to be a noise-impact or flight-path study boundary through residential neighborhoods near the airport.

This aerial map shows the area surrounding Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, including the cities of Burien and SeaTac, with runway designations 16R, 16C, and 16L marked along the western edge. Two colored flight-path or noise-contour lines — one purple and one gold — are overlaid on the map, tracing routes that extend east through residential neighborhoods, parks such as Sunset Park and North SeaTac Softball Fields, and past landmarks including Glacier High School. The map appears to be part of a noise or flight-path policy study documenting how aircraft departure and arrival corridors affect surrounding communities along SR 518 and adjacent streets.

In June 2012, the Port of Seattle Commission considered a resolution to sell portions of the Woodinville Subdivision rail corridor (also known as the Eastside Rail Corridor) to King County for $15 million, minus closing costs and a $1.9 million credit. The sale was part of a broader regional agreement among the Port, King County, Sound Transit, the City of Redmond, Cascade Water Alliance, and Puget Sound Energy to transfer the former BNSF Railway corridor into public ownership for future trail and transportation uses. The resolution also authorized a permanent easement granting King County rights over part of the Port's freight section of the corridor for recreational trail purposes.

This 2011 report by the Stockholm Environment Institute estimates King County, Washington's greenhouse gas emissions for 2008 using a 'geographic plus' methodology, covering sources such as transportation, buildings, industry, and waste. Total emissions reached approximately 23.4 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent in 2008, a 5% increase from 2003, with transportation accounting for roughly half of all emissions. The findings were used by King County and its partners to identify major emission sources and develop strategies to meet community greenhouse gas reduction goals.

This document presents the Adopted King County Districting Plan, approved on November 15, 2011, which redrew the boundaries of the nine King County Council districts based on 2010 U.S. Census data. Each district was drawn to achieve roughly equal population, with counts ranging from approximately 214,106 (District 2) to 215,099 (District 5). The plan covers the greater King County area, including communities such as Seattle, Bellevue, Auburn, Federal Way, and areas near Sea-Tac Airport.

These are the approved minutes from the Port of Seattle Commission's regular meeting held on March 9, 2010, covering routine administrative and operational matters such as staff recognitions, security service contracts, and facility maintenance approvals. The meeting included the introduction of new Fire Chief Randy Krause, recognition of the 2009 Firefighter of the Year, and authorization of various contracts including printer procurement for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport passenger processing. Note that this document does not contain Sea-Tac Airport noise policy content, as it focuses primarily on general port operations and infrastructure decisions.

Hillgrove Cemetery is a small, historic community cemetery located near Sea-Tac Airport at approximately 1651 S 200th St in Sea-Tac, WA, established around 1900 on land donated by early settler Fred Kinkling. Designated a King County Community Landmark in 1982, the 0.92-acre site contains an estimated 350 burials dating from 1889 to 2001, representing pioneers and Civil War veterans from the surrounding Highline/Des Moines area. The cemetery, situated just west of the planned southern route of SR509 on land surrounded by Port of Seattle-owned parcels, has experienced ongoing challenges including vandalism, neglect, and overgrowth.
