Sea-Tac area eyes cityhood

The News Tribune's Local section (South King County Edition), dated Wednesday, December 9, 1987, features two stories: 'Sea-Tac area eyes cityhood,' reporting on Sea-Tac area leaders debating annexation versus incorporation as a new city, and 'Incorporation backers launch effort in FWay,' covering approximately 50 supporters of turning Federal Way into a city gathering for a pep rally to revive the 1989 incorporation campaign.

Notes

The News Tribune reports on Sea-Tac area leaders debating whether to annex to neighboring cities or incorporate as their own municipality, citing concerns over crime, traffic, and poor public services. There is partial interest from Des Moines. No mention of the airport. A parallel article covers incorporation backers launching an effort to turn Federal Way into a city, with supporters gathering to volunteer and raise funds for the campaign.
