This March 27, 2013 'State of SeaTac' presentation was delivered at the Highline Forum by the City of SeaTac. It provides an overview of the city's vision and goals, spotlights major projects and primary initiatives, and includes key statistics: a population of 27,210, an area of 10.3 square miles, 37,142 jobs, and a city incorporation date of 1990.

This September 2012 Port of Seattle presentation outlines the Airport Sustainability Master Plan for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, comparing existing and future airport layout conditions. The plan maps proposed near-term development projects across the airfield, terminal areas, parking facilities, and surrounding grounds. It serves as a long-range planning framework intended to guide responsible airport growth while reflecting the Port of Seattle's sustainability commitments.

In September 2011, the Port of Seattle briefed commissioners on an Airline Realignment Program at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, driven by major industry mergers such as Delta-Northwest, United-Continental, and Southwest-AirTran. The program involved relocating and consolidating multiple airlines—including Alaska Air Group, American, Virgin America, and others—across different terminals and satellites, with Alaska Air Group planning to consolidate at the North Satellite and Concourse C. The total estimated cost of the realignment program ranged from $122 million to $130 million, covering capital and expense projects.

This December 2009 presentation by Kenneth J. Plotkin of Wyle Laboratories examines the history of aviation noise impact research, tracing how noise metrics evolved over time and what was learned—or lost—along the way. It outlines the FAA's Aviation Noise Impacts Research Roadmap, whose goals include improving understanding of annoyance and sleep disruption, developing exposure-to-impact assessments, and informing policy, mitigation strategies, and cost-benefit models. The presentation emphasizes the importance of learning from past research efforts to avoid repeating mistakes in future noise policy decisions.

This October 2009 FAA Air Traffic Organization document explains the terms, techniques, and programs used to manage the flow of air traffic across the National Airspace System. It covers topics such as ground delay programs, ground stops, severe weather avoidance, rerouting strategies, and coordination tools used by traffic management specialists. While focused on national-level airspace operations rather than airport-specific noise policy, it provides useful background on how flight scheduling and routing decisions are made system-wide.

This November 1983 document outlines the Master Plan Update for Jackson International Airport (Sea-Tac), prepared by Peat Marwick and TRA for the Port of Seattle. It presents a nine-month project schedule covering 13 elements—ranging from study design and passenger surveys to alternative layout plans and a financial development schedule—along with a project organization chart showing the Port of Seattle's steering committee and staff alongside federal and consulting partners.
