This document lists annual compensation figures for Port of Seattle Commissioners from 2020 through 2023. Commissioners such as Ryan Calkins, Sae Cho, and Frederic Felleman received consistent salaries around $72,000–$74,000 per year, while others like Toshiko Grace Hasegawa and Hamdi Mohamed appear only in later years, reflecting mid-term appointments. Stephanie L. Bowman and Courtney Gregoire show partial-year or transitional pay amounts, indicating departures or arrivals during the covered period.

The Port of Seattle launched a Sound Insulation Repair and Replacement Pilot Program in February 2024, aimed at addressing mold, water damage, and other problems affecting the roughly 9,400 homes in Burien, Des Moines, Kent, and SeaTac that received Port-funded sound insulation systems. With $6 million in combined Port and State funding, the program will assess and prioritize homes for repair, with work expected to begin on some homes in 2025, though the ultimate goal is securing federal funding to fix all eligible homes. Community organization Sea-Tac Noise.Info is encouraging homeowners to proactively document their issues and connect with the program rather than waiting to be contacted by the Port.

In February 2024, the Port of Seattle Commission proposed Order 2024-04, directing an assessment of previously installed noise insulation packages to be completed by end of 2024, with findings reported to Commissioners by January 21, 2025. The order also establishes a Sound Insulation Repair and Replacement Pilot Program, backed by an initial $5 million commitment, to identify and fix aging or ineffective insulation in homes near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Priority for repairs will be determined using the Port's equity index to ensure underserved communities are considered first.

The Port of Seattle is requesting $900,000 to continue its Economic Development Partnership (EDP) program, which provides grants of $5,000–$60,000 to King County cities for local economic development projects such as small business assistance, tourism promotion, and workforce development. In the 2022–2023 cycle, 27 cities participated and collectively leveraged over $1.6 million in matching resources, supporting nearly 700 businesses and generating millions of marketing impressions. For 2024, the program is shifting to one-year contracts to better align with cities' biennial budget timelines.
