Century Agenda "Givens"
•

Airport: The existing three runways at Sea‐Tac Airport are assumed as a maximum.

•

Seaport: POS will continue to be a major international container, cargo, fishing &
cruise Port, and the PNW will continue to be a major trade gateway. The on-dock
container terminals will develop primarily through investments within the current
property footprint.

•

Funding Strategy: Over the next 25 years, the Tax Levy is an important funding
mechanism for strategic opportunities which cannot be financed otherwise.
