  • Aerial View of Highway Interchange Near Sea-Tac Airport, 1970s–1980s

    Aerial photograph looking northward toward Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (visible runway and terminal area in background right), showing a major highway interchange—likely International Boulevard (SR-99) crossing Interstate 5—with surrounding commercial parking lots, auto dealerships, and suburban development. The image appears to be from the 1970s or early 1980s based on vehicle styles and development density, consistent with a Sea-Tac Airport noise-policy or planning archive.

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.
