Appendix K: Children’s Environmental Health and Safety Risks, Socioeconomics, and Environmental Justice (NEPA Final EA and SEPA)

Appendix K of this environmental review examines socioeconomic conditions, environmental justice, and children's health and safety risks in the area surrounding the proposed project. It finds that 23.3% of the population in the study area is under 18—higher than both King County and statewide averages—and identifies two schools within the project boundary that could expose children to environmental health risks. The appendix also includes an economic impact analysis for the Northwest Seaport Alliance and a separate environmental justice memorandum prepared under Washington State's environmental review process.
