Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) Workshops
The Port held a third series of workshops for this Part 150 Study; this time it was focused on potential measures being explored for the NCP. These workshops occurred on: October 17th, 2026 from 10:00am to 12:00pm at Cedarhurst Elementary School in Burien; October 19th, 2026 from 6:00 to 8:00pm at McMicken Heights Elementary School in SeaTac; and October 20th, 2026 from 6:00 to 8:00pm at Midway Elementary School in Des Moines. The workshops shared information about the study’s timeline, projected aircraft noise levels in the surrounding communities, and proposed draft measures aimed at reducing the effects of noise. Attendees had the opportunity to offer feedback on potential measures and suggest additional measures for evaluation as part of the Draft NCP, which will be released next year.
The workshop materials are available in the Documents section of this website.
