    SEA Stakeholder Advisory Round Table (StART) Annual Report

    The Port of Seattle's SEA Stakeholder Advisory Round Table (StART) brings together representatives from neighboring cities like SeaTac, Burien, and Des Moines, along with airlines, the FAA, and Port staff to address community concerns about Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. In 2024–2025, the group focused on noise reduction efforts including promoting single-engine taxiing, launching a residential sound re-insulation pilot program, and advancing a federally required Part 150 Noise and Land Use Compatibility Study. StART operates through two working groups—the Aviation Noise Working Group and the Policy Working Group—making decisions by consensus to ensure neighboring communities have a meaningful voice in airport-related policies.

    Sound Insulation Repair and Replacement Pilot Program Assessment Update

    The Port of Seattle launched a Sound Insulation Repair and Replacement Pilot Program to assess the effectiveness of previously installed noise insulation packages in homes near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Authorized under Commission Order 2024-04 with a $6.5 million tax levy-funded budget—$5 million of which is reserved for design and construction—the program involved community outreach, property owner surveys, and acoustic testing throughout 2024. Properties were prioritized using an equity index to ensure underserved communities were considered, with design and construction work expected to begin in 2025.

Read This!

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
