The Flight Plan Project, published in January 1992 by the Puget Sound Regional Council and the Port of Seattle, examines the long-term air carrier system needs of the Puget Sound region. The report includes study findings, draft recommendations, and a Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. It was funded in part by grants from the Federal Aviation Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation.

The Regional Airport System Plan (1988–2020) serves as the air transportation element of the Regional Transportation Plan for the Puget Sound area, published in September 1988. Developed under the guidance of an Air Transportation Advisory Committee representing airports, government agencies, community groups, and industry stakeholders, the plan outlines a long-range framework for managing and developing the region's airport system. It addresses air transportation needs and policy across multiple airports in the greater Seattle–Tacoma region, including considerations relevant to noise, land use, and capacity planning through the year 2020.

A January 1981 letter from the Puget Sound Council of Governments invites citizens and agencies to review a draft Regional Airport System Plan covering 1980 to 2000, which outlines existing aviation facilities, projected needs, and recommendations for expanding several airports in the region. The plan also calls for construction of a new industrial/commuter airport in the King-Snohomish service area, though no specific site is identified. Public comments were due before February 27, 1981, with the King Subregional Council expected to vote on adoption in March 1981.
