The Port of Seattle held a Regular Commission Meeting on February 10, 2026, covering a range of business items including a Black History Month proclamation, consent agenda approvals, and new business. Among the airport-related items, commissioners considered authorizing a $6 million construction contract for the Flight Corridor Management Project 2024, with an estimated total project cost of $9.7 million, which relates to managing aircraft flight paths around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The meeting was held both in person at Port headquarters and virtually via Microsoft Teams.

The Port of Seattle's External Relations division presented its 2026 work plan to the Port Commission on February 10, 2026, highlighting four key teams: Communications and Marketing, Government Relations and Regional Transportation, Community Engagement, and Strategic Initiatives. The presentation also reviewed 2025 communications performance, which included over 15 million website visits, 502 videos produced, and a 9.5% growth in social media following.

The 2026 External Relations Work Plan for the Port of Seattle outlines a full-year calendar of major initiatives, government relations activities, and community engagement events related to Sea-Tac Airport and the Port's maritime operations. Key airport-related items include the Flight Corridor Management Program, the SAMP Draft SEPA environmental review process with public meetings, SeaTac parking regulations, and ongoing noise advisory committee meetings through the StART (Sea-Tac Airport Roundtable) process. The plan also tracks legislative engagement at the state and federal levels, tribal government coordination, and community outreach efforts affecting airport-adjacent neighborhoods throughout 2026.
