Quiet Skies Coalition: What Happened to Our Peace and Quiet?

The Quiet Skies Coalition is a community group opposing increased aircraft noise over the Greater Burien area near Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac) Airport. Since July 2016, the FAA began directing westbound flights to turn immediately after takeoff over residential neighborhoods, a change driven by Sea-Tac nearing its maximum capacity with takeoffs spaced roughly two minutes apart. The coalition urges residents to contact the FAA and Port of Seattle to object, and welcomes financial contributions to support their advocacy efforts.
