These Accounts Payable Vendor Master List records from the City of Burien, Washington, document payments made to the Airport Communities Coalition (ACC) between 2002 and 2004, totaling over $547,000 across the three years. The payments, drawn primarily from account 001-03-513-11-41-41C, represent quarterly and annual contributions related to Sea-Tac Airport noise policy advocacy and community planning efforts. Additional charges cover technical work such as Miller Creek Basin Plan modeling and review services.

The Port of Seattle's August 2020 commission meeting addressed a proposal to enter into an interlocal agreement with the City of Burien to fund the Miller Creek Culvert Replacement project, which aims to remove failing culverts that block fish passage and restore stream habitat. The project, led by the City of Burien, had completed planning, design, and permitting, with construction scheduled for Summer 2021, but faced a funding shortfall requiring Port involvement. The Commission had previously passed a motion in November 2019 to advance the project, which focuses on environmental restoration rather than airport noise policy.

In November 2019, the Port of Seattle Commission approved Motion 2019-14, directing the purchase of up to five portable noise monitors to measure airplane noise in areas not currently covered by existing monitoring systems, with data made publicly accessible and at least one monitor placed on Vashon Island. The motion also authorized negotiating an agreement to advance the Miller Creek Culvert Replacement, Fish Passage and Stream Restoration Project near Des Moines Memorial Drive to improve water quality and fish habitat near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Both projects were identified as community-supported priorities under the South King County Fund initiative.

A 2012 presentation to the Highline Forum provides an update on the Lora Lake Apartments cleanup site near Sea-Tac Airport, where dioxin contamination is being addressed through a combination of excavation and capping. The Port of Seattle submitted a draft Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study to the Washington State Department of Ecology, which was reviewing the document and planning to issue it for public comment before selecting a final cleanup action. The site was not found to be contributing significant amounts of dioxin to the nearby Miller Creek.
