Port-wide/Regional Issues 
COVID-19 Recovery: Partner with local and regional agencies on initiatives that acknowledge
the challenging budget realities facing all levels of government, while ensuring that economic
recovery is prioritized and is undertaken in a manner that is equitable and inclusive. Due to
historic and current day discriminatory practices, communities of color and other marginalized
communities tend to experience disproportionate harms and impact throughout all phases of a
large-scale public crisis or disaster. Inequities arise in all crisis stages from preparedness to
immediate response to longer-term recovery Recognizing these inequities, crisis response
should "account for the needs of all people. Emergency response and relief practices must
benefit everyone while also accounting for the specific needs of vulnerable populations." (Port
of Seattle Motion 2020-06) 
Equitable Economic Recovery: Support legislative or regulatory policies by King County cities
and King County that leverage the Port's efforts to promote economic recovery and healthy,
livable communities. Continue to integrate values of equity and inclusion in economic recovery
efforts. Investing in relief is critical to the Port being able to provide essential services and
maintain our sea and air gateways that are crucial to our region's supply chain. Recovery efforts
include initiatives to support local and small businesses, implement tourism or city specific
promotion campaigns, stimulate local economic activity, advance real estate development and
business attraction initiatives in addition to the Port's capital projects investments. Advocate
for cities' participation with the Trusted Community Partnership Network in funding navigators
to equitably help connect small, women-owned, and minority-owned businesses with the
resources they need. 
Equity and Inclusion: Collaborate with King County cities and King County to rebuild an
inclusive economy where opportunity and prosperity are widely shared regardless of race,
gender, ethnicity or socio-economic status.   Advance the Duwamish Valley community
partnership,  support  equitable  economic  development  through  the  South  King  County
Community Impact Fund and the Opportunity Youth Initiative, and invest in the Port's Office of
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion and Workforce Development's Strategic Plan Bring together
other local government partners to promote immigration policies that ensure the Port, our
partners and our customers have the workforce to succeed, and that new residents, refugees, 
and visitors feel fully welcomed. 

Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) Near-Term Projects (NTP): Inform and engage
elected officials, public agencies, interested communities and other stakeholders on the 2022
release of the draft federal and state environmental review documents for the proposed SAMP

Meeting Date: March 8, 2022 
Near-Term Projects (NTP) to address passenger and cargo demand, FAA standards, airfield
efficiency, and the need for additional fuel storage. Promote the SAMP, together with other
Port-wide initiatives, as key to meeting current needs and supporting future regional growth
and economic opportunities to neighboring airport communities and across the region. 
Climate, Maritime Climate  and  Air  Action Plan (MCAAP),  Energy and Sustainability:
Participate in local and regional partnerships to support policy at the regional, State and Federal
level that relates to the Port's sustainability goals, including implementing the Clean Fuel
Standard, the use of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) and discontinuation of fossil natural gas use
in waterfront buildings and facilities, and scaling sustainable aviation and maritime fuels. With
an eye toward environmental justice, support legislative or regulatory policies by King County
cities and King County that align with the Port's efforts to reduce carbon emissions, promote
energy-efficient operation of transportation infrastructure, buildings, and encourage renewable
energy generation. Continue to partner locally and regionally to understand and develop
strategies for Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure. Continue to partner with the City of
Seattle on waterfront electrification and take steps with regional partners to capture state and
federal funding that supports clean energy infrastructure investments and other projects that
advance the Port's climate and sustainability efforts. Continue to partner with transit agencies
to enhance strategies to increase ridership to SEA, to help reduce Single Occupancy Vehicle
(SOV) emissions. Monitor and evaluate potential actions at King County, with K4C and in King
County cities that would impact diversified or transitional fuel source usage at Port facilities. 
Implement the near-term actions in the MCAAP: Work with local and regional partners
to inform and engage elected officials, public agencies,    industry,               NGOs,
communities, and other stakeholders on near-term MCAAP projects and priority
actions needed to achieve the Port's 2030 greenhouse gas reduction targets and uphold
its commitments to equity and environmental justice. Promote the MCAAP's projects,
together with other Port-wide initiatives, as key to meeting current needs and
supporting future regional growth, supporting the equitable transition to zero-emission
maritime energy sources, and economic opportunities to neighboring communities in
Seattle and King County. Strive to take a coordinated, equitable and ambitious regional
approach to address climate change, air quality and lead a clean energy transition across
the region. 
Regional Mobility: Actively partner with relevant public transportation agencies  and
stakeholders on critical infrastructure projects and policies throughout the region and state,
with focus on access to port facilities, both cargo and passenger, key freight corridors, and 
equitable regional mobility and funding strategies. Continue engagement on access to the
airport and build on recommendations related to the Ground Transportation Access Plan goals. 
Mobility Projects: Ensure the city of Seattle incorporates maritime and industrial needs,
including workforce development strategies, as committed in the City/Port West Seattle

Meeting Date: March 8, 2022 
Bridge Partnering MOU to repair and reopen the two West Seattle bridges. Engage with
public transit agencies on SEA Airport transit access and extending Link light rail to West
Seattle and  Ballard while protecting port operations, industrial lands  and freight
mobility, as well as growing regional capacity. Collaborate with water taxi operators to
identify opportunities for synergies with Port assets. Focus on the timely and on-budget
delivery of partners' priority projects including Puget Sound Gateway/SR 509, improved
multimodal access to the airport, the Safe & Swift Corridors, East Marginal Way
Improvements, WaterfrontSeattle, and the Interbay corridor. Build support for WSDOT
implementing findings from the SR518 corridor study (2019-20). 
Mobility Policy and Planning:  Work with regional partners, stakeholders, and other
public agencies to improve state and local funding and to maximize the impact of
federal funds applied to our region. In particular, work strategically to invest grants
received from the bipartisan infrastructure legislation passed by Congress; these dollars 
can be used not only for freight mobility and supply chain congestion improvements but
also sustainable transportation options and mobility (opportunities for mode shifts,
biking and walking facilities, and last/first mile connections). Adjust and account for
implications to transportation projects and services of revenue stream disruption from
COVID impacts to commercial parking tax, gas tax, sales tax and street use. Advocate for
freight mobility and port passenger access in PSRC's Regional Transportation Plan and
Seattle's multimodal Comprehensive Transportation Plan. 
Industrial Lands: Support local policies and plans that are durable and resistant to piecemeal
zoning and development changes; stimulate new compatible investment in industrial lands;
continue to make public investments that support Manufacturing and Industrial Centers; and
that strengthen zoning to ensure that noncompatible land uses and activities are not located
next to industrial lands. Support local land use and transportation policies, as well as
mechanisms that maintain or enhance maritime and manufacturing lands, and the critical road
and rail infrastructure required for freight mobility. Advocate strongly for legislative and
regulatory decisions that preserve industrial lands, enhance freight mobility, allow for the
anticipated development of marine cargo, industrial, and transportation facilities and support
the growth of related living wage jobs. 
Resiliency  and  Emergency  Preparedness: Recognizing  the  Port's  unique,  critical
infrastructure, and the need to prepare and respond to natural and man-made disasters,
continue to strengthen the Port's partnerships with local and regional agencies for mutual aid,
planning, coordination, exercises, and communication. In addition, facilitate collaboration with
local jurisdictions on climate resiliency, including Seattle City Light, the King County-Cities
Climate Collaboration (K4C) and the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). As outlined in
Recommendations No. 20 and 21 in the Port's Policing and Civil Rights Task Force Report
(2021), the Port should continue to take the lead on updating Mutual Aid agreements to drive
best practices regionally, and align with the new state policing laws, as well as actively engage
in after-action assessments to track all resulting recommendations.
