2025-11-2425-7439 Petition for Review of Agency Order – City of Burien, City of Des Moines, and City of SeaTac v. FAA
Three Washington cities near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport — Burien, Des Moines, and SeaTac — filed a legal challenge on November 24, 2025, asking a federal appeals court to review the FAA's September 2025 decision approving near-term construction and expansion projects under the airport's Sustainable Airport Master Plan. The cities argue the FAA's environmental finding, known as a FONSI/ROD, should be scrutinized by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which has jurisdiction because the cities are located within that circuit. The petition was filed on the last allowable day of the 60-day filing window, as the original deadline fell on a Sunday. -
