If you’ve heard all this, just skip down… Your original Port Package was almost certainly financed through FAA funding called the Airport Improvement Program (AIP).

A 2023 Washington State legislative funding request of $412,000 seeks to establish two ultrafine particle air quality monitors near Sea-Tac Airport and the I-5/I-90 interchange in Seattle, operated by the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency. The project aims to measure tiny airborne particles — particularly those produced by aircraft and vehicle traffic — that are not currently tracked routinely in Washington State. The University of Washington would analyze the collected data to identify pollution sources and establish health-impact baselines, with monitoring expected to begin in spring 2024.
New legislation put forward to address aviation demand in Washington State. This bill anticipates that the CACC will not provide a viable second airport recommendation.
