This March 1995 Draft Environmental Impact Statement, prepared by Kato & Warren, Inc. for the Port of Seattle, evaluates the proposed construction of a 16-story, 384-room hotel on a 77,000-square-foot site at Sea-Tac International Airport, located between the 'D' Concourse and the airport entry drives. The hotel, which would include 10,000 square feet of meeting rooms plus a restaurant and lounge, was to be connected to the terminal and parking garage via pedestrian skybridges on land then occupied by a United Airlines office building. The document was issued for public comment under Washington State's Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), with responses due by April 20, 1995.

Washington House Bill 1293 (1995) amended state law governing how port districts can address aircraft noise impacts on nearby properties, expanding soundproofing programs and removing a prior requirement that property owners waive damages and convey easements in exchange for noise mitigation. The bill declared such damage-waiver agreements void as against public policy, meaning residents near airports like Sea-Tac could receive soundproofing benefits without giving up their legal rights. The act was designated an emergency measure, intended to take effect immediately upon passage.

This March 1994 Final Environmental Impact Statement, prepared jointly by the Federal Aviation Administration's Seattle Airports District Office and the Port of Seattle, evaluates the proposed South Aviation Support Area at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The document assesses the potential environmental effects of developing aviation support facilities in the southern portion of the airport, covering impacts such as noise, land use, and related concerns. It was produced as part of the federally required environmental review process before any major airport infrastructure decisions could be approved.

The Flight Plan Project, a joint effort by the Puget Sound Regional Council and the Port of Seattle, produced this 1992 Final Environmental Impact Statement to evaluate long-term commercial air transportation options for the central Puget Sound region. It examines system-level alternatives ranging from expanding Sea-Tac Airport to building new airport facilities, assessing trade-offs related to noise, air quality, land use, and regional quality of life. The document serves as a programmatic planning tool, with no single preferred alternative identified, intended to guide future site-specific environmental reviews and regional airport policy decisions.

A 1992 brochure from the Regional Commission on Airport Affairs (RCAA) argues that the Port of Seattle broke its 1973 promises to soundproof homes affected by Sea-Tac Airport noise, noting that only 700 of 10,000 impacted homes had been insulated and no public buildings had been treated despite a recognized obligation since 1988. The brochure opposes the Port's plan to spend up to $1.2 billion on a third runway at Sea-Tac, questioning how residents can trust new commitments when past ones went unfulfilled. It calls on the Port to fulfill its existing mitigation obligations before pursuing further airport expansion.

Port Of Seattle Commission Resolution No. 3119, adopted September 8, 1992, authorizing the Executive Director to execute an Interlocal Agreement between the City of SeaTac and the Port of Seattle for enforcement of the State Building Code at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The resolution references RCW Title 19 (1976), the Airport Building Department established in 1976
