Mr. Reid was notable for being the Director of the State's Air Transportation Commission (AIRTRAC) which studied aviation demand at Sea-Tac Airport and was responsible for a two year moratorium on construction projects. When the moratorium concluded, AIRTRAC dissolved and Mr. Reid became the Director of the Airport Communities Coalition, the legal entity sponsored by surrounding cities which fought the Third Runway against the Port of Seattle.
Introduction The growth of Sea-Tac Airport has definitely not been linear. There have been many fits and starts that don’t make for easy sound bites. For example, Sea-Tac Airport was able to run over 400,000 operations in 2000 on only two runways. By the time the Third Runway opened for business on November, 20 2008,
The Port of Seattle completed reconstruction of the center runway (designated as 16C/34C) at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in 2015. The runway was originally built in 1969 and had some brief closures during 2016 in order to complete adjoining projects with taxiways and blast pads. The project included installation of a new LED runway lighting system and an
Edward Russell Delta Air Lines is firmly ensconced as the Seattle area’s second carrier, having built an Asia gateway and hub there during the past decade. The SkyTeam Alliance carrier will offer up to 184 departures this summer, including service to seven cities in Asia and Europe, from Seattle/Tacoma International Airport (SEA), according to Cirium schedule data.

Donnelly, Devlin July 15, 2019 Did you know that the Sea-Tac Airport terminal is shaped somewhat like a boomerang? Want to know why? It isn’t just because of the obvious aesthetic appeal of the shape, or as a subtle reminder to make sure people keep coming back! The reason dates to the original configuration of
This provides a portal for information concerning the progress towards a second airport, which was studied and debated by the Commercial Aviation Coordinating Committee (or as they refer to themselves 'the CACC') from 2020-2023
This is an excerpt from Chapter 6.6.5 of the Sea-Tac Communities Plan (1976). ‘Reinforcement’ was one of three types of planning that were considered. It refers to efforts to strengthen the existing community to be more compatible with the airport through the techniques of property buyouts (to create a noise buffer) and sound insulation.

This document outlines a multi-phase airport noise reduction program, likely for Sea-Tac Airport, detailing proposed projects from 1975 to 1994 with estimated costs ranging from tens of thousands to millions of dollars. Projects include land acquisitions in north and south areas, purchase guarantee programs, major and limited noise insulation programs, and noise monitoring systems. Implementation responsibilities are shared between primary and secondary agencies, with funding requiring commitments beyond normal existing sources and, in some cases, significant administrative or legislative changes.
The FAA’s Airport Improvement Program (AIP) provides grants that fund airport planning and infrastructure projects such as constructing or rehabilitating runways, taxiways, ramps, and runway safety areas in addition to airport signage, lighting, and markings. The grants strengthen U.S. aviation infrastructure by improving safety, efficiency, and the overall travel experience for pilots and passengers alike.
A State Initiative to charge a carbon tax on fossil fuels. Although it exempts both commercial marine and commercial jet fuels (bad) we nevertheless support this measure. If passed, the law affords large grant opportunities to heavily impacted communities. We expect that these grants will be highly competitive. It will therefore be necessary for airport
