In February 2020, the Port of Seattle Commission adopted Motion 2020-04, directing the Executive Director to accelerate the sound insulation program at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and complete it no later than 2026. The motion calls for appropriate staffing, funding, and contracting to deliver the program on time, with regular progress updates to the Commission's Aviation Committee. The Port is also directed to coordinate with other public agencies to ensure the program complements, rather than duplicates, existing efforts related to low-income housing and energy upgrades.

The Port of Seattle Commission is introducing Resolution 3771 to support the Flight Corridor Safety Program 2019, which involves removing trees near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport that obstruct FAA-designated flight approach and departure paths. The program seeks to acquire permanent easements on private properties to prevent future obstructions and ensure ongoing compliance with FAA regulations and the airport's operating certificate. If voluntary negotiations with property owners fail, the Port is authorized to pursue condemnation as a last resort to secure the necessary property rights.

This January 2020 update from the Sea-Tac Stakeholder Advisory Round Table (StART) Noise Working Group covers three main areas: a Ground Noise Study collecting 2019 operations data from airlines, an Aircraft Departure Profiles Analysis showing that the 'distant departure' procedure reduces noise the most for nearby communities, and a Late Night Noise Limitation Program identifying EVA Air, FedEx Express, and China Airlines Cargo as the carriers with the most noise violations in Q4.
