    Resolution creating the Port Of Seattle Negotiation Council Committee (PNC) and authorizing interlocal agreement negotiations

    The City of SeaTac passed a resolution creating the Port of Seattle Negotiation Committee (PNC), an ad hoc council committee tasked with guiding negotiations between the city and the Port of Seattle, which owns and operates Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The committee, composed of Deputy Mayor Senayet Negusse, Councilmember Peter Kwon, and Councilmember Joe Vinson, will work toward developing a new Interlocal Agreement to replace the current 2018 agreement set to expire in February 2028. The resolution also authorizes the City Manager to formally initiate those negotiations with the Port of Seattle.

    Port of Seattle Response to Burien on SIRRPP Dec 2025

    The Port of Seattle responds to Burien's City Council regarding its Sound Insulation Repair and Replacement Pilot Program, explaining that the $5 million program targets homes insulated before 1993 that still measure at or above 45 dB DNL interior noise levels. Of 262 eligible homes in the highest noise zones tested so far, only 5 qualified for repairs, suggesting older insulation packages are still performing acoustically. The Port plans to expand testing to 209 additional homes in early 2026 and may access FAA grants covering up to 80% of design and construction costs.

    Port Of Seattle Response Letter to Des Moines Mayor Traci Buxton: Sound Insulation Repair and Replacement Pilot Program

    The Port of Seattle wrote to Des Moines Mayor Traci Buxton in December 2025 to explain its Sound Insulation Repair and Replacement Pilot Program, a $5 million initiative aimed at helping homeowners near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport whose aging sound insulation packages may no longer be performing adequately. The program focuses on homes that received insulation before 1993 and are located within the FAA-approved Noise Remedy Boundary, with eligibility determined by acoustic testing showing interior noise levels at or above 45 dB DNL. Of the 117 homes tested in the initial phase, five were found eligible, and the Port plans to expand outreach to an additional 209 homes in early 2026 while pursuing FAA grant funding that could cover up to 80% of design and construction costs.

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
