Notes
Campaign mailer from Washington Alliance of Taxpayers and Travelers (WATT) opposing the Port of Seattle’s proposed third runway at Sea-Tac Airport. Argues the project is a ‘billion dollar boondoggle’ requiring 26 million cubic yards of dirt — more than seven Kingdomes — trucked via 2,000 trucks per day for three years through communities including Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Issaquah, Downtown Seattle, Kent, Vashon-Maury Island, North Bend, and Auburn. Claims construction will take four years and nearly one billion dollars, increase traffic congestion on I-5, I-405, I-90, and Highway 509, and could raise property tax levy by more than 60% without voter approval. Includes map of Puget Sound showing proposed dirt excavation sites and truck routes. Mailed to recipients at Department 373, 800 5th Avenue Suite 101, Seattle WA 98104-3191.
