Highline Forum 220323 2021 StART Annual Report

want to especially recognize the 12 community representatives who each volunteered dozens of hours to learning, sharing knowledge, and advocating for the needs and desires of their neighbors and communities. Together, all of StART’s members, presenters, and observers, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), make this forum a powerful force for greater understanding and collaboration between SEA and the communities that surround the airport. was delighted to see everyone come back to the (virtual) table in 2021 after some challenges in earlier years. The new Steering Committee (composed of city representatives, Alaska Airlines, the FAA, and Port staff) played a key role in setting StART agendas and administering our new operating procedures. This new approach allowed procedural issues of concern to be arbitrated through collaborative dialogue, which expanded everyone’s sense of trust.
