The Des Moines City Council submitted a series of formal questions challenging the Port of Seattle's environmental review of its airport expansion plan, raising concerns about air quality, noise impacts, and community compensation.

2026-06-18(Draft) Joint letter from City of Burien, City of Des Moines, and City of SeaTac to Port Of Seattle Commissioners regarding SAMP environmental review
The mayors of Burien, Des Moines, and SeaTac jointly wrote to Port of Seattle Commissioners in 2026 to challenge the claim that airport expansion projects outlined in the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) would have no significant impact on neighboring communities. The letter highlights concerns about aircraft noise, air pollution, traffic, and disproportionate burdens on historically disadvantaged residents living closest to the airport. The cities also demand that the public comment period for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement be extended from 60 to at least 120 days to allow for meaningful community review.
