SUBJECT:  2018-2022 Long Range Plan: Final Draft Review 
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
The Long Range Plan (LRP) is an official document that contains the five-year strategies and
actions to reach milestones in our progression to achieve the Century Agenda (CA) and High
Performance Organization (HPO) objectives. 
The Century Agenda lists sixteen objectives distributed among four strategies. The HPO portion
of the LRP lists eleven objectives distributed among five strategies, thus totaling to nine LRP
strategies with 27 objectives. Each objective details key priority actions that the Port of Seattle
will focus on for the upcoming five-year period. This year, the staff included 2018 milestones as
part of the 2018  2022 LRP which strengthens alignment with the 2018 Annual Budget
approval process and plans. 
This is the second part of a briefing which presents the proposed changes to the LRP for the
2018  2022 period for discussion and feedback from the Commission. On July 25th, we covered 
the following Century Agenda (CA) and High Performance Organization (HPO) objectives: 
CA 3   Triple air cargo volume to 750,000 metric tons 
CA 5   Double the economic value of the fishing and maritime cluster 
CA 6   Make Sea-Tac Airport the West Coast "Gateway of Choice" for international
travel 
CA 7   Double the number of international flights and destinations 
CA 8   Meet the region's air transportation needs at the Airport for the next 25 years 
CA 9   Double the economic value of cruise traffic to Washington state

the goals. 
BACKGROUND 
The LRP was approved by the Commission on August 9, 2016. The development of the LRP
represents the efforts of cross-functional teams at the Port along with Commission feedback to
align our actions with the Century Agenda and High Performance Organization strategies and
objectives. These teams of subject matter experts, either directly or indirectly tied to the
Century Agenda objective, connected their work to the goals of the Century Agenda and
developed strategies, objectives, actions, and performance measures focused in five areas:
aviation,  maritime,  economic  development,  the  environment,  and  high-performance
organization. 
The LRP is organized around the strategies and objectives identified in the Century Agenda and
those pertaining to a High Performance Organization that focuses on operations excellence and

organizational alignment. It cuts across all departments and divisions of the Port and spans
annual budget periods. 
The intention of the LRP is to bring all capabilities of the Port to bear in the work of achieving
our goals. For each LRP objective, there are a set of key actions and performance measures Port
staff uses to guide the work and monitor progress. 
The LRP shapes the annual budget and ensures that all Port divisions and supporting
departments have specific, achievable actions to not only keep up with, but also be a major
driver of the dramatic growth in our region and create 100,000 livable family wage jobs in our
community. The LRP will be updated and formally adopted by the Commission each year,
launching our budget process. 
The LRP Management Dashboard is a performance management tracking tool that provides
baseline data and metrics for implementing, monitoring, and reporting on progress on the
Century Agenda and HPO over a rolling five-year planning period. 
The LRP development goals are as follows: 
(1) Further advance projects that drive to vision of creating 100,000 jobs 
(2) Address any gaps due to changes in the environment 
(3) Ensure that the LRP supports best practices, and enhances the High Performance
Organization emphasizing organizational alignment and operational excellence 
The LRP development is a significant effort to align the application of Port financial and human
resources with the Century Agenda's aspirations. Its implementation allowed the Port to more
effectively and transparently improve the Port's ability to create a stronger local economy while
addressing key environmental, social and fiscal concerns of its stakeholders, partners, and
citizens. 
Century Agenda Overview 
In 2012, the Port of Seattle's centennial anniversary, the Port Commission launched the Century
Agendaa comprehensive vision that focuses on the Port's next quarter-century. The Century
Agenda refreshes the Port's strategies and objectives in a way that builds upon the
accomplishments of the Port's first century and provides a visionary look at the emerging
challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. 
In anticipation of the Port's Centennial, in 2010, the Commission formed a Century Agenda
Committee to guide the Port's long-range vision. During 2011, the Commission convened
monthly public roundtables to discuss strategic issues related to the Port's mission. In January
2012, the Commission adopted Preliminary Strategic Goals, which now are known as Strategies
and Objectives, along with a proposed Mission and Commitment.
