A September 2019 planning matrix and email from El Centro outlines a multi-agency legislative strategy addressing Sea-Tac Airport noise and environmental justice concerns. Key priorities include passage of Washington HB 1847 to expand the noise abatement area from 6 to 10 miles, amendments to RCW 47.80.030 to fund PSRC air transportation planning, and advocacy for the Port of Seattle to adopt a triple-bottom-line policy covering economic, environmental, and social wellbeing. The documents were prepared for a Legislative Task Force meeting involving representatives from federal, state, and regional bodies including PSRC, the Port of Seattle, and King County.Open full document
