SUBJECT:  Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Capital Program - Briefing 

SYNOPSIS 
The Aviation division of the Port of Seattle is embarking on a capital program totaling
$2.4 billion over the next ten years. This program is necessary to meet airline needs and
to increase capacity at the Airport for both domestic and international passenger growth.
Four major projects with preliminary approximate costs within this program include: 
International Arrivals Facility - $344 million 
Baggage Optimization - $314 million 
Runway 16C/34C Replacement - $99 million 
NorthSTAR - $458 million 
Although the Commission has been briefed on these individual projects, the purpose of
this presentation is to look at the major drivers for the larger elements within the capital
program. This presentation includes: an overview of the necessary reasons for the
program, the plan of finance including affordability information with comparisons to peer
airports, and a spotlight focus on the two largest projects - the International Arrivals
Facility that meets growing international flights, and the NorthSTAR project that meets
Alaska Airlines consolidation and is also best suited to meet growing gating demands
across the airport.
