In January 2002, the Port of Seattle Commission passed Resolution No. 3483 to formally support the Highline School District's $189.5 million Capital Facilities Improvement Bond, which was on the March 12, 2002 ballot. The resolution reaffirmed the Port's commitment to contribute $50 million as part of a $200 million partnership with Washington State and the FAA for noise insulation and ventilation improvements at the 15 Highline schools most impacted by Seattle-Tacoma Airport aircraft noise. The funding partnership was contingent on Highline District voters approving the bond measure, which would also finance broader facility and technology upgrades across the district's aging school buildings.

In early 2002, the Port of Seattle filed a legal memorandum seeking to compel the Airport Communities Coalition (ACC) to make its witnesses available for deposition and to place limits on a requested inspection of Port property near Sea-Tac Airport. The Port objected to ACC's demands for unrestricted site access for 17 people, unlimited environmental sampling across 18 acres of wetlands and multiple creeks, and refusal to disclose sampling locations or methods in advance. ACC, in turn, refused to schedule any depositions until the site visit dispute was resolved.
