A 1998 internal memo from Ryk Dunkelberg to Richard Kennedy outlines the schedule of eight public CAC/TAC meetings planned through 1999 for the Part 150 Noise Study Update at Sea-Tac Airport, along with broader public engagement activities such as workshops, newsletters, and a project website. The memo also explains the Port of Seattle's cautious policy toward FAR Part 161 aircraft noise regulations, noting that no such studies have ever been successfully approved by the FAA and that pursuing one could jeopardize existing noise abatement programs. Additionally, it addresses the potential acquisition of residential properties in the Approach Transition Areas, stating that no decision has been made and that further study and federal funding would be required.

This Winter 1998 newsletter from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Noise Abatement Office reports that U.S. airline fleets are transitioning ahead of schedule to quieter Stage 3 aircraft, with 75.5% of U.S. planes and 87% of Sea-Tac flights already meeting the standard required by the year 2000. Alaska Airlines completed hush kit installations on its Boeing 737-200 jets, achieving full Stage 3 compliance two years early, though engine testing caused some community noise concerns. Quarterly reports for mid-1997 also detail nighttime flight restrictions, noise complaint line activity, flight procedure compliance rates, and progress on a home insulation remediation program that had assisted over 7,000 homeowners.
