Notes
Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) Aviation Baseline Study Survey Report presenting public input collected through four methods: a statistically valid survey of 1,416 residents in the four-county Puget Sound region, 22 resident interviews (replacing focus groups due to COVID-19), an online open house with 377 participants as of October 19, and poll questions at three virtual public meetings (September 23, 29, and 30) with 176 total participants. Key findings include survey and interview respondents prioritizing meeting aviation demand and economic benefits, while virtual meeting and online open house participants emphasized noise and environmental impacts. A consistent theme across all input methods was preference for dispersing aviation service throughout the region rather than expanding Sea-Tac Airport capacity or building a new airport.
