This 1987 document outlines the Phased Development Program for North Sea-Tac Park, a proposed regional park planned jointly by King County and the Port of Seattle. It includes a master plan map showing intended facilities such as sports fields, activity areas, trails, an arboretum, and conservation reserves. Detailed capital cost estimates in 1986 dollars are provided for each development phase, with Phase I totaling approximately $2.9 million and Phase II covering additional amenities such as baseball fields, tennis courts, and parking areas.

In September 1985, the Port of Seattle's Port Commission passed Resolution No. 2974, authorizing acceptance of a Federal Aviation Administration grant (AIP Project No. 3-53-0062-10) to fund land acquisition and relocation of residents in the extended clear zone around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The grant agreement, issued under Contract No. DOT-FA85NM-0062, covered nine specific land parcels (J-54, J-56, J-114, J-141, J-144, J-146, J-149, J-150, and J-151) adjacent to the airport. The resolution directed the Port's Executive Director to execute the agreement on the Port's behalf, provided it met FAA standard form requirements.

This 1985 Master Plan Update, prepared by Peat Marwick/TRA for the Port of Seattle, outlines the long-term development strategy for Sea-Tac International Airport to handle projected growth in air traffic through the early 2000s. The plan rules out construction of new runways due to existing capacity, prior investment, and environmental concerns, while recommending expansion of the passenger terminal complex to accommodate up to 55 air carrier gates and 25 commuter airline gates. Planning activity levels projected total annual passengers growing from 12.5 million in the short term to 21 million in the long term.

This is the agenda for the Port of Seattle Commission Regular Meeting held on August 13, 1985, covering a range of aviation, marine, and general business items. Among the aviation items, the commission addressed a taxicab moratorium at Sea-Tac International Airport and updates to monthly public parking fees. Of particular relevance to noise policy, the meeting included consideration of Resolution No. 2971, which pertained to the redevelopment of Terminal 91 and the adoption of the T-91 Noise Measurement Protocol.

Minutes from the Port of Seattle Commission's regular meeting on August 13, 1985, covering several key actions including the launch of the Port's 1985 United Way Campaign with a $33,000 fundraising goal, an update on the West Seattle Low-Level Bridge project estimated at $61.03 million, and the passage of Resolution No. 2971 amending the Terminal 91 Short Fill Redevelopment Agreement. The Terminal 91 amendment addressed noise measurement standards and traffic impact issues affecting the Magnolia and Queen Anne communities, establishing clearer noise limit protocols consistent with the Seattle Noise Ordinance.

This 1985 document, prepared by the Port of Seattle, outlines the Part 150 Airport Noise Compatibility Program for Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac) International Airport. It combines two phases: Phase I, Noise Exposure Maps (officially submitted to the FAA in October 1984), and Phase II, a Noise Compatibility Program adopted by the Port Commission in January 1985. Together, these phases identify noise exposure around the airport and propose measures to address compatibility between aircraft noise and surrounding land uses.

A resolution authorizing the Port of Seattle to accept an FAA grant offer and execute Grant Agreement for AIP Project No. 3-53-0062-06 to obtain federal aid for Sea-Tac International Airport development, specifically for land acquisition in Extended Clear Zone areas and relocation of persons. The resolution was adopted by the Port Commission on August 28,

In July 1984, homeowners on 26th Ave. South near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport wrote to Port of Seattle Commissioners supporting the acquisition of their properties under the Noise Remedy program, citing increasing aircraft noise, growing industrial traffic hazards, and uncertainty that had delayed home maintenance. A separate letter from the Port's Director of Aviation to an airline captain acknowledged that non-compliance with existing noise abatement procedures — such as aircraft flying lower or turning sooner than prescribed — was a significant community concern, and noted that the Port was developing computer software using FAA radar data to automatically detect and report such violations.
