The Port of Seattle Airport Neighbor Community Accords (proposed November 2018) is a citizen-drafted proposal calling on the Port of Seattle to prioritize the health and well-being of communities surrounding Sea-Tac International Airport. It argues that these neighborhoods bear an unfair burden from aircraft noise and environmental impacts without adequate compensation, and that the Port's 2018 bylaw changes weakened its commitments to quality of life, environmental stewardship, and community collaboration. The document outlines six specific accords, including demands for independent audits of mitigation spending, a nighttime curfew, prioritization of tax levy funds for community mitigation, and reduced use of the 3rd runway until mitigation goals are met.

The Port of Seattle's draft 2019 state legislative agenda outlines priority policy areas including support for a clean fuels standard to reduce emissions from port operations, workforce development in maritime and industrial sectors, and improved transportation access to Sea-Tac Airport via State Route 518 and the Puget Sound Gateway program. The agenda also covers land use protections for port-related zones, small business inclusion, and funding for a Maritime Innovation Center. While the document addresses transportation infrastructure near Sea-Tac, it does not specifically focus on airport noise policy.

This November 2018 Port of Seattle briefing memo outlines the draft federal legislative priorities for 2019, covering aviation, maritime, and trade policy goals. On airport community issues, the Port seeks to increase FAA responsibility for engaging with residents affected by overflight noise, expedite hiring of a regional noise ombudsman, and participate in a federally funded study examining the health impacts of aircraft noise on Seattle-area communities. The agenda also addresses related concerns such as air quality, sustainable aviation fuel, and passenger facility funding.

This November 2018 Port of Seattle commission briefing provides a quarterly update on the NorthSTAR Program, a joint Port of Seattle and Alaska Airlines effort to renovate and expand Sea-Tac Airport's North Satellite facility from 12 to 20 contact gates. Construction was reported as on schedule and within its $672.1 million authorized budget, with Phase 1A — including 5 new gates, a north holdroom, and concessions — on track to open in January 2019. The report also covers workforce diversity metrics, change orders, and upcoming milestones extending through a projected project completion in July 2021.

This document is the Sea-Tac International Airport Tariff No. 1, originally issued by the Port of Seattle Commission in 1980 and effective January 1, 1981, with subsequent revisions through 2018. It outlines the rates and charges for use of airport facilities and services, covering areas such as landing fees, airline charges, parking, ground transportation, utilities, security, and various violation fines. The tariff serves as the official schedule of fees governing commercial and operational activities at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
