Document Library
Highline Community Plan

This document contains materials from the 1977 Highline Communities Plan, outlining the legal and administrative framework governing the Highline area near Sea-Tac Airport in King County, Washington. It references key planning documents including the 1964 King County Comprehensive Plan and the 1976 Sea-Tac Communities Plan, which sought to balance airport operations with surrounding residential communities through noise mitigation measures such as property acquisition, insulation programs, and land use controls. A 1976 memo from the Highline Communities Plan Committee also requests that Forward Thrust funds not be reallocated until the Highline Communities Plan was formally adopted.
