In a December 1987 internal memorandum, Port of Seattle development and aviation directors recommended that the Port Commission endorse King County's SeaTac Area Plan Update with specific conditions. Key qualifications included transferring noise-mitigation properties north of the airport to King County for a new public park, supporting south airport access road development contingent on an Interstate 5 connection, and endorsing plans for a Veterans Cemetery. The Port also urged King County to remain flexible on land use designations if community-driven proposals proved more beneficial to neighboring residents and property owners.

A 1987 Port of Seattle memorandum recommending that the Port Commission formally endorse the SeaTac Area Plan Update, a King County policy plan guiding land use, transportation, development, and recreation decisions around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The document outlines three potential Commission actions, including endorsing the overall plan, adopting the North SeaTac Park Plan, and establishing a policy framework for a South Access Road Improvement District. A key unresolved issue involves the Sunset Activity Center, located in an airport safety zone, with the plan recommending negotiations between King County, the Port of Seattle, and the Greater Highline Community Parks Board to determine its future.

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,
