The Mayor's Roundtable Common Actions and Priorities outlines a cooperative framework between Sea-Tac Airport and four neighboring cities — Burien, Des Moines, Normandy Park, and SeaTac — aimed at ensuring a sustainable future for both the airport and surrounding communities. The document sets out four key actions covering regional transportation connectivity, stormwater impacts, economic development, and mitigation of local environmental and quality-of-life impacts from airport growth. It emphasizes avoiding litigation by requiring the Port of Seattle, FAA, and neighboring cities to work together on policy changes that protect residents, wildlife, and local businesses.

This Port of Seattle document shows a flight-track map of Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac) Airport activity on May 24, 2006, between 5:45 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. During this period, south-flow jet aircraft deviated from their standard routes due to weather conditions, as confirmed by the FAA. The map distinguishes arrivals, departures, fly-overs, training flights, and overshoots by color, illustrating how unusual flight paths spread noise impacts across a wider area of the surrounding region.

The Federal Aviation Administration approved a total grant payment of $4,935,000 to the Port of Seattle for AIP Project Number 3-53-0062-77, covering acoustical insulation work at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Out of $6,476,538.99 in claimed costs, $6,168,750.00 was deemed allowable after disallowing $307,788.99, with the federal share set at 80%. The Port of Seattle submitted closeout documentation in March 2006, though a Circular A-133 audit by Deloitte & Touche and final acoustic test results for Seawind Condominiums were still pending completion at the time of closure.

This is the Port of Seattle's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report covering the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Prepared by the Port's Department of Accounting & Procurement Services, the report provides a detailed account of the Port of Seattle's financial activities, which oversees major transportation infrastructure in Washington State, including Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and the seaport facilities. The document serves as an official public record of the Port's financial performance and stewardship for that year.

In August 2005, the Port of Seattle and Citizens Against SeaTac Expansion (CASE) jointly wrote to the Washington Department of Ecology presenting a unified position on proposed changes to the NPDES wastewater permit for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The two parties collaborated to resolve disputed permit conditions — covering issues such as BOD discharge limits and pipeline compliance schedules — and categorized each comment as requiring a permit change, a response only, withdrawal, or unresolved. Both parties agreed not to appeal any permit modifications that fell within the mutually agreed categories, aiming to avoid litigation while achieving a workable final permit.

During March 2005, construction of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's third runway was approximately 60% complete, with trucks making over 28,000 trips and hauling nearly 859,000 tons of fill material from multiple pits in the region. Community concerns arose in late 2004 about construction truck traffic on SR 518 and SR 509, including complaints of speed-limit violations, uncovered loads, spilled materials, and possible overweight vehicles, prompting a state legislator to contact the Washington State Patrol about enforcement. The project also generated 119 damage claims from the public since hauling began in June 2004, with 44 claims settled between the contractor and the Port.
