The Sea-Tac Stakeholder Advisory Round Table (StART) held its kick-off meeting on February 28, 2018, bringing together representatives from six neighboring communities, two airlines, the FAA, and the Port of Seattle to improve cooperation and transparency around airport operations. The first meeting focused on how the airport is governed and operates, and participants identified a need for clearer understanding of roles, decision-making authority, and how communities can influence airport air and ground operations decisions. The next meeting was scheduled for April 25, 2018, and is open to the public.

The Sea-Tac Stakeholder Advisory Round Table (StART) held its first meeting on February 28, 2018, bringing together representatives from six neighboring communities, two airlines, the FAA, and the Port of Seattle to improve communication and cooperation around airport operations. The kick-off meeting focused on how the airport is governed and operated, and stakeholders discussed potential topics for future meetings, including understanding decision-making authority over air and ground operations. The next public meeting was scheduled for April 25, 2018, at the Conference Center at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

Resolution No. 2943 was adopted by the Port of Seattle's Port Commission to update the Noise Remedy Program for Sea-Tac International Airport, replacing the earlier noise remedy element from the 1976 Sea-Tac Communities Plan. The resolution outlines a structured approach to reducing noise impacts on surrounding communities, including property acquisition in high-noise areas, noise abatement measures, and a Demonstration Project—budgeted at up to one million dollars—to test additional remedies such as noise insulation and transaction assistance for affected homeowners. Annual progress reports and priority consideration for hardship cases and long-term residents are also required under the program.
