A Draft Environmental Assessment of the Port’s Sustainable Airport Master Plan, which contains proposals for mass tree removal in this community, is expected soon. Public input will be critical.

More than 50 Green SeaTac Partnership work events in North SeaTac Park have transformed two locations in North SeaTac Park since early 2022.
Along with other restoration programs in the park, this work is key to preserving healthy forests here. Keeping the forest heathy in the park may help protect against future commercial development by the Port of Seattle, which owns the park’s 200+ acres and which, in its 2020 Real Estate Strategic Plan, published a recommendation to construct 340,000 square feet of aviation supportive use on 31 forested acres inside the park.
Restoration work needs to be scaled up to the severity of the invasive weed threat in this park and conducted according to a comprehensive plan that is professional administered and adequately funded. Register for upcoming events at https://seatac.greencitypartnerships.org.
