1980-04-09Proposal for airport on Eastside pops up again
A 1980 Seattle Times article reports that federal and state officials revived a proposal to build a new small-craft general-aviation airport on the Eastside of King County, with three potential sites identified near Snoqualmie Falls and Fall City. The FAA offered to fund up to 80% of the estimated $4.5 million construction cost, citing growing congestion at Sea-Tac Airport caused by the mixing of small private planes with large commercial jets. South King County residents, long burdened by airport noise and safety concerns, largely welcomed the idea, arguing that Eastside communities benefiting from aviation should share the responsibility for housing general-aviation facilities. -

Cheskov v. Port of Seattle
A Landmark Case on Airport Noise, Property Rights, and Limitations. When homeowners living near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport sought compensation for plummeting property values caused by constant aircraft noise, they set the stage for a pivotal 1960 Washington Supreme Court ruling. In *Cheskov v. Port of Seattle*, the court tackled two critical legal questions: Could the Port of Seattle be held liable for property damage caused by airport noise and vibration? And could airlines be held responsible for occasional low-altitude flights over private land? While the court acknowledged that plaintiffs suffered real, substantial property damage, their claims against the Port were ultimately barred by the statute of limitations. Meanwhile, the airlines faced findings of technical trespass — but only nominal damages were awarded. Each of the various opportunities for homeowners has long since been barred by Federal and State statutes.
