The Aviation Advisory Committee held its first meeting on September 26, 2017, to establish its work plan for addressing Sea-Tac Airport impacts on the surrounding community, including reviewing the airport's Sustainable Master Plan Environmental Impact Statement and examining noise, health, and transportation concerns. The committee agreed to hold open public meetings with a dedicated public comment period, and a budget was allocated to hire a consultant to analyze the airport's expansion plans. Committee member Edmiston was designated to report on the group's goals and progress at the October 12th City Council meeting.

This report, prepared by Landrum & Brown for the Port of Seattle, documents baseline air quality conditions at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as of 2016, as part of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) Environmental Review. It inventories emission sources across the airport—including aircraft operations, ground support equipment, and stationary sources like boilers and generators—and compares 2016 emission levels to those from 2014. The findings are intended to support future environmental planning and assessment of proposed airport development.

In a July 2017 letter, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's Managing Director Lance Lyttle acknowledged concerns from the City of Des Moines regarding the airport's Concourse D Hardstand Holdroom project, confirming that no additional gates would be added until the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) environmental review was completed. Following this, the cities of Burien, Des Moines, Normandy Park, and SeaTac entered into an Interlocal Agreement in March 2018 to jointly hire the consulting firm Lockridge Grindal Nauen PLLP for $175,000 to conduct an environmental review of the SAMP. Costs were shared among the four cities based on a per-capita funding rate of approximately $1.50, with Burien covering the largest share at roughly 43%.
