At a June 5, 1979 meeting, the Port of Seattle Hardship Acquisition Committee unanimously recommended the early purchase of Parcel A-447, owned by Mrs. Carrie Cochrane, under special hardship acquisition criteria.

In April 1979, the Citizens Advisory Committee recommended that the Port of Seattle pursue early acquisition of a property owned by Tom Fest (parcel Z-685) under hardship status. The Committee determined that a quick purchase would benefit both parties, urging the Port to promptly establish a fair price and the owner to sell the property as a single parcel rather than subdividing it into three lots. The recommendation also specified that the owner should not be required to pay sewer hook-up costs before the sale unless the Port agreed to them.
