Newspaper clipping: ‘Cities’ study: Add $3 billion’ on Sea-Tac third runway costs

A newspaper clipping (continued from page B1) reports on a cities' study finding that a third runway at Sea-Tac Airport would require $3 billion, including nearly $2 billion to relocate residents and redevelop neighborhoods in Des Moines and Burien, $318 million for noise insulation, and $479 million in road improvements. The article notes that South King County legislators argued the region was being 'singled out for punishment' as a non-wealthy, politically less powerful area, and references alternative sites including Paine Field, Boeing Field, and McChord Air Force Base.
