The Sea-Tac Communities Plan

Map Supplement to Six Month Report

A three-panel choropleth map (document POS 812487, sheet 1-4) produced by King County's Department of Community & Environmental Development, Land Use Management Division, dated July 1973. The maps display census-tract-level data for the Sea-Tac communities on percent of multi-family housing units, percent of owner-occupied housing units (King County average 63.2%, King County less Seattle 67.6%), and percent of total housing units built 1960–1970, at a scale of one inch equals 8,000 feet.

A three-panel choropleth map (document POS 812487, sheet 1-4) produced by King County’s Department of Community & Environmental Development, Land Use Management Division, dated July 1973. The maps display census-tract-level data for the Sea-Tac communities on percent of multi-family housing units, percent of owner-occupied housing units (King County average 63.2%, King County less Seattle 67.6%), and percent of total housing units built 1960–1970, at a scale of one inch equals 8,000 feet.

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
