    Bird deterrent ball purchase agenda item

    The City of Des Moines, WA is purchasing $124,191 worth of Bird-X bird deterrent balls to cover a 32,000-square-foot stormwater detention pond at the Des Moines Creek Business Park, after the Port of Seattle notified the city in 2023 that the pond was out of compliance with FAA wildlife hazard standards. FAA Advisory Circular 150/5200-33C requires physical barriers on stormwater ponds near public-use airports—such as Seattle-Tacoma International Airport—when standing water persists longer than 48 hours and poses a risk of attracting hazardous wildlife that could interact with aircraft. The City Council approved the purchase on November 21, 2024, with costs funded through the Surface Water Management Maintenance Fund.

    Email Exchange: Normandy Park Mayor Eric Zimmerman on SAMP Frustrations and StART Strategy

    In a November 2024 email exchange, Normandy Park Mayor Eric Zimmerman acknowledges frustration with the Sea-Tac Airport Master Plan (SAMP) process, explaining that the Port of Seattle Commission holds the real power over airport growth but that pro-growth cities like Seattle and Bellevue dominate that political landscape. He cautions against taking an activist stance toward the Port, warning that doing so could jeopardize the city's participation in the StART engagement process and cost Normandy Park hard-won mitigation benefits, such as an overnight runway use agreement that shifted late-night landings away from the third runway. The email was prompted by a journalist named Stuart Jenner, who reported writing a story about SAMP meetings held on November 13 and 14, 2024.

    City of Burien 2025 federal agenda

    The City of Burien's 2025 Federal Agenda, prepared by the Johnston Group, outlines lobbying priorities that include pushing for reduced airport noise and emissions near Sea-Tac Airport, conducting a new SEA-TAC noise study, and securing dedicated funding for aviation-impacted communities. The agenda also seeks increased Sustainable Airport Master Plan funding and supports the FAA Reauthorization Act as key vehicles for advancing these goals. Burien's federal lobbying effort aims to build congressional relationships and align city priorities with available federal funding to address the ongoing impacts of airport operations on surrounding neighborhoods.

Read This!

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.
