This July 2015 technical memorandum outlines the background, goals, and objectives for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP), prepared by Leigh Fisher for the Port of Seattle. It describes how the SAMP differs from a traditional airport master plan by integrating financial, environmental, and community sustainability considerations into long-term airport development planning. The document also explains how sustainability goals—drawn from national, regional, and Port of Seattle policies—will be used to evaluate and screen future development alternatives for Sea-Tac Airport.

This May 2015 briefing presented the Port of Seattle's Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to the City of Des Moines Council. The plan addresses rapid passenger and operations growth within a constrained airport footprint, outlining the need for strategic land use planning, potential expansion onto additional Port-owned properties, and relocation of existing facilities to maintain airfield capacity and add terminal capacity. Key topics covered include economic impact, sustainability, activity forecasts, development constraints, and public outreach.

This map from the City of SeaTac shows projected 2018 average day/night noise levels (DNL) radiating from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, with contour zones indicating areas expected to experience noise levels of 65, 70, and 75 decibels. The noise contours extend north into Burien, south into Des Moines, and affect portions of Tukwila and Normandy Park, with the most intense noise zone (DNL 75) centered directly over the airport. Prepared in March 2015 using Port of Seattle Airport Noise Programs data from July 2014, the map serves as a planning reference for land use and noise mitigation policy in surrounding communities.

This 2015 technical memorandum prepared by Leigh Fisher for the Port of Seattle provides a comprehensive inventory of existing conditions at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as part of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan. It covers a wide range of airport infrastructure and operations, including airfield runways and taxiways, passenger terminal facilities, ground transportation, air cargo, general aviation, and airline and airport support systems. The document serves as a baseline assessment of the airport's physical and operational state to inform future planning decisions.
