The Port of Seattle issued a State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Determination of Non-Significance for the Sea-Tac Airport Part 150 Noise Compatibility Planning Study, concluding the plan would not have a significant adverse impact on the environment. The study outlines 23 noise mitigation measures—including limiting nighttime flights, sound-insulating homes and schools, and constructing a Ground Run-Up Enclosure—aimed at reducing aircraft noise for communities surrounding Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. A 45-day public comment period was open through May 30, 2013, with the determination signed by Elizabeth Leavitt, Director of Aviation Planning and Environmental Programs.

This Second Development Agreement, dated June 15, 2012, is a formal planning contract between the City of Des Moines, Washington, and the Port of Seattle governing the development of the Des Moines Creek Business Park (DMCBP), a multi-phase commercial and logistics project located near Sea-Tac Airport. The agreement outlines development regulations, zoning, environmental review requirements under SEPA, transportation infrastructure improvements, and land use phases including a logistics park, retail or business park, and an area for Puget Sound Energy/Benaroya. It also addresses mitigation measures, master plan approvals, recreation path requirements, and a purchase option for retail development on Port-owned property.

This Second Development Agreement, dated June 15, 2012, is a formal contract between the City of Des Moines, Washington, and the Port of Seattle governing the planned development of the Des Moines Creek Business Park (DMCBP). The agreement outlines development regulations, phased project areas including a logistics park and retail or business park, transportation infrastructure improvements, and environmental review requirements under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). It serves as a key planning document shaping land use and development near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, with direct implications for surrounding communities affected by airport-related growth and noise policy.

Resolution No. 3650 was adopted by the Port of Seattle Commission on May 3, 2011, updating the Port's policies and procedures under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) to reflect changes in law and improve effectiveness. The resolution requires the Port to analyze and, where appropriate, mitigate the environmental impacts of its proposals, including consideration of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. It supersedes all prior related resolutions and formally designates policies that may be used to condition or deny actions under SEPA's substantive authority.

The City of Burien's 2009 Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) examines redevelopment options for the Northeast Redevelopment Area (NERA), located near Sea-Tac Airport. Three alternatives are evaluated, including rezoning the area to allow airport-compatible uses such as light industrial, office, and limited retail (Alternative 1), a more restricted version without auto or general retail sales (Alternative 2), or maintaining the existing SPA-4 zoning with no changes (Alternative 3). The document is relevant to Sea-Tac Airport noise policy as all proposed land use changes are explicitly designed to ensure compatibility with airport operations in the surrounding community.

The VISION 2040 Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement, published by the Puget Sound Regional Council in July 2007, identifies a Preferred Growth Alternative for managing forecasted population and development growth in the Puget Sound region through the year 2040. It supplements a May 2006 Draft EIS that examined four conceptual growth alternatives, adding analysis of environmental impacts associated with the preferred option. The document was prepared in accordance with Washington State's Environmental Policy Act and invites public comment on regional growth planning policies.

This 2002 executive briefing presents the draft Master Plan and environmental review documents (SEPA/EIS and NEPA/EA) for King County International Airport (Boeing Field), located five miles south of downtown Seattle. The airport, which covers 594 acres and hosts 150 tenant businesses and 479 based aircraft, recorded approximately 290,000 flight operations in 2001. The FAA accepted the Master Plan in Fall 2001 and approved the Airport Layout Plan in March 2002, setting the stage for future development and noise impact assessments.
