The Highline Forum is a collaborative body representing Southwest King County cities, schools, and the Port of Seattle that meets to share information and work on regional initiatives. A March 27, 2013 meeting held at SeaTac City Hall focused on transportation topics, including the SR 509 Extension/I-5 Improvement Project and a status update on the Port of Seattle's Part 150 noise study, which directly relates to Sea-Tac Airport noise mitigation policy. The Forum operates by consensus and is governed by procedures that assign the Port of Seattle as the lead disseminator of all Forum-related information.

This is a proposed court order from the King County Superior Court in the case of Kebede Admasu et al. v. the Port of Seattle, in which the Port sought summary judgment against plaintiffs based on express avigation easements tied to Sea-Tac Airport. The order lists the numerous declarations and filings considered by the court, including submissions from both the Port and affected property owners. The case centers on whether recorded avigation easements legally shield the Port from noise and property-related claims brought by neighboring residents.

This February 2013 report documents the as-built conditions of a wetland mitigation project at Tyee Valley Golf Course, carried out as part of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's 1997 Master Plan Update.

The report also outlines ongoing vegetation and hydrologic monitoring standards to ensure the mitigation site meets long-term performance goals.

The 2013 Operating Procedures for the Highline Forum outline how this informal coalition of Southwest King County cities, schools, and the Port of Seattle collaborates on shared regional issues. The Forum meets four times a year, operates by consensus rather than formal votes, and is co-chaired by a Port of Seattle elected representative and a community elected representative. While not a formal decision-making body, it provides a structured venue for member jurisdictions to share information, coordinate on local initiatives, and engage with outside speakers.

This is the Port of Seattle's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, covering the financial activities of the port authority that operates Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Seattle's seaport facilities. The report was prepared by the Port's Accounting and Financial Reporting Department and provides a detailed accounting of the organization's revenues, expenditures, and overall financial position.
