In May 2025, the City of SeaTac formally offered to purchase approximately 214 acres of North SeaTac Park and Pat Ryan Field from the Port of Seattle, proposing $20 million in park improvements and the creation of a nonprofit foundation to manage the funds. The letter argues the park is surplus to the Port's aviation needs yet essential to community health, serving roughly 650,000 visitors annually as a buffer against airport noise and air pollution. The offer, submitted by City Manager Jonathan Young, is intended to fulfill Port Order No. 2024-12, which directed the Port to develop options for permanently preserving the land as public parkland.

In an April 2025 letter, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation reminded all DOT funding recipients — including state and local governments — that they must comply with federal anti-discrimination laws, including prohibitions on race- and sex-based preferences, and must cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. The letter warns that programs or policies tied to 'diversity, equity, and inclusion' goals may violate federal law, and that issuing driver's licenses to undocumented individuals or otherwise impeding ICE could constitute noncompliance. Recipients who fail to meet these obligations risk losing federal transportation funding, facing audits, or having grant agreements terminated.
