2024-09-20SEA Airport’s Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) Frequently Asked Questions
The Port of Seattle's Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) outlines 31 near-term construction projects at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, including a second terminal with 19 gates, new cargo facilities, and roadway changes, all aimed at serving up to 56 million passengers annually by 2050. A federal environmental review (NEPA) is underway to assess potential impacts, with a 45-day public comment period opening October 21, 2024, allowing community members to submit feedback online, by mail, or at public libraries in Burien, Des Moines, and SeaTac. A separate state-level environmental review (SEPA) will follow once the federal process is complete. -

2024-09-09Appendix L: Surface Transportation Existing Conditions Report — SAMP NTP Environmental Review
This technical report analyzes existing surface transportation and traffic conditions around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as part of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) Near-Term Projects Environmental Review. It examines 108 intersections — including signalized, stop-controlled, and uncontrolled locations — along key travel routes connecting the airport to surrounding communities, focusing on weekday PM peak-hour traffic volumes. The study also includes freeway analysis of SR 518 and I-5 ramps and segments at the request of WSDOT. -
2024-09-09SAMP NTP Environmental Review: Affected Environment — Surface Transportation Existing Conditions Report
This report analyzes existing traffic conditions around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as part of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) Near-Term Projects Environmental Review. It examines 108 intersections—including 63 signalized, 41 stop-controlled, and 4 uncontrolled—along key routes connecting the airport to surrounding communities, focusing on the weekday PM peak hour (4–6 p.m.). Freeway segments of SR 518 and I-5 were also evaluated at WSDOT's request to provide a comprehensive picture of surface transportation conditions in the airport study area. -

2024-09-05HAWKZ Eight Arrival (RNAV) — Transition Routes, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
The HAWKZ Eight Arrival (HAWKZ8) is a standard terminal arrival route (STAR) used to guide aircraft into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) from multiple directions, including transitions from waypoints such as Battle Ground, Klamath Falls, and Lakeview. The procedure requires RNAV 1 capability (DME/DME/IRU or GPS) and radar, and directs jet aircraft to descend via Mach number until intercepting 280 knots. Aircraft follow a series of waypoints and altitude restrictions, ultimately converging at the HAWKZ fix at 12,000 feet and 270 knots before continuing to the airport.
