It highlights a regional vacancy rate of 5.70%, 2.8 million square feet under construction, and 3.1 million square feet absorbed for the year, with major deliveries including Amazon.com's Dupont distribution center. The report also covers employment growth projections, port activity, and submarket-level leasing rates and sales data across the Puget Sound region.

In June 2012, the Port of Seattle Commission considered a resolution to sell portions of the Woodinville Subdivision rail corridor (also known as the Eastside Rail Corridor) to King County for $15 million, minus closing costs and a $1.9 million credit. The sale was part of a broader regional agreement among the Port, King County, Sound Transit, the City of Redmond, Cascade Water Alliance, and Puget Sound Energy to transfer the former BNSF Railway corridor into public ownership for future trail and transportation uses. The resolution also authorized a permanent easement granting King County rights over part of the Port's freight section of the corridor for recreational trail purposes.

In February 2012, the Port of Seattle Commission considered Resolution No. 3659 to authorize the sale of a portion of the Woodinville Subdivision rail corridor — also known as the Eastside Rail Corridor — to the City of Kirkland for $5 million. The property, located within the cities of Kirkland and Bellevue, was declared surplus to Port needs and intended for trail and transportation uses. This sale was part of a broader series of transactions in which the Port transferred segments of the corridor to various regional partners, including the City of Redmond, Sound Transit, and Puget Sound Energy.

The NEST (New Economic Strategic Triangle) Study, completed in November 2004, examines development opportunities on properties surrounding Seattle-Tacoma International Airport within the cities of Burien, Des Moines, and SeaTac. Funded by the U.S. Economic Development Administration, the study identifies target industries, assesses highest and best use for each property, and provides strategic recommendations to guide economic growth in the airport region. The report was produced through a partnership of local governments and the Port of Seattle, with support from a team of real estate, engineering, and planning consultants.

These are King County, Washington property records from June 1923, including a real estate purchase contract, a quit-claim deed transferring land to Hill Grove Cemetery Association, and an assignment of a real estate contract. The documents cover property transactions in the greater Seattle area, detailing payment terms, land descriptions, and notarized acknowledgments. These records are part of the historical King County Auditor's deed registry and are not directly related to Sea-Tac Airport noise policy.
