Sea-Tac Communities Plan: West Reinforcement Area Map (Section 6.6.5)

The Sea-Tac Communities Plan, sponsored by the Port of Seattle and King County, maps the West Reinforcement Area surrounding Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, identifying neighborhoods such as Hazel Valley, Chelsea, Seahurst, Gregory Heights, Sunny Terrace, and Blakley Manor that are affected by aircraft noise. The map highlights the Burien Center commercial core, grid cells where program eligibility is determined by noise criteria alone, and features such as streams, ponds, and heavy vegetation. It distinguishes between single-family residential structures and other buildings to guide noise mitigation and land-use planning efforts in the impacted communities.
