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.

The King County International Airport Sound Insulation Program, launched in 2005, offers free noise-reduction improvements to qualifying single-family homes (4-plex or smaller) located within the airport's noise mitigation area. Funded primarily by the FAA with a 5% match from King County, the program installs sound insulation upgrades to reduce the impact of aircraft noise inside residences. Homeowners who qualify must complete an eight-step participation process, including attending a briefing, signing a program contract, and granting an avigation easement.
