Sea-Tac Communities Plan Fact Sheets: Community Involvement Program Objectives, Environmental Development Commission, and Technical Advisory Committee

These fact sheets from 1973 outline the structure and goals of the Sea-Tac Communities Plan, a planning study focused on Sea-Tac International Airport and surrounding areas. The Community Involvement Program aimed to engage local residents through a community office, public displays, and citizen representation on advisory committees. Technical oversight was provided by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), which brought together representatives from local, state, and federal agencies—including the FAA, EPA, Boeing, and area school districts—to coordinate planning efforts and review recommendations.
