2023-04-24Stop Runaway Spending at Sea-Tac: WATT Campaign Mailer
This campaign mailer from the Washington Alliance of Taxpayers and Travelers (WATT) opposes the Port of Seattle's plan to build a third runway at Sea-Tac Airport, calling it a billion-dollar 'boondoggle' that would take four years to construct and burden the region with overwhelming truck traffic. The group warns that the project would require moving 26 million cubic yards of dirt via 2,000 trucks per day through neighborhoods across the Puget Sound region, and that taxpayers could face property tax increases of over 60% if airline fees fall short of covering costs. Residents are urged to contact the Port of Seattle and mail in an attached postcard to oppose the runway expansion. -

2023-04-24A chronology of regional air transportation planning in Washington State 1942-1997
This document traces the history of regional air transportation planning in Washington State from 1942 to 1997, covering key milestones such as the original selection of the Bow Lake airport site, runway expansions, and noise-related lawsuits against the Port of Seattle. It highlights repeated policy decisions—including the 1973 Sea-Tac Communities Plan and the 1985 Master Plan Update—that explicitly ruled out new runways and major site expansions at Sea-Tac International Airport. The chronology also documents growing community concerns about aircraft noise, vibration, and smoke, reflected in legal actions and environmental impact studies throughout the period. -
2023-04-24Seattle-Tacoma International Airport history search results (st03)
This collection of essays and timeline entries from HistoryLink.org traces the full history of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, from its origins as a World War II-era civilian airport built by the Port of Seattle to the complex debates of the 1980s–2000s over adding a third runway. Key topics include the airport's rapid growth during the jet age, the economic disruptions of the Boeing Bust, and the federal deregulation of airlines in 1978. A central focus is the prolonged public and political battle over noise impacts and runway expansion, which drove up the third runway's projected cost from $430 million to $1.1 billion and delayed its completion by nearly a decade. -
