1992-03-02Handwritten notes on community organizations and airport noise
This handwritten document appears to be notes from an early 1992 meeting (dated 3/2/92) concerning aircraft noise policy near Sea-Tac Airport, referencing a group opposed to further aircraft noise and seeking members from both inside and outside city limits, with a target population of 100,000. The notes outline several case studies of organizations and community colleges receiving donations ranging from $50,000 to $100,000, apparently as part of noise mitigation or community foundation funding efforts. Key concerns include growing a membership list beyond those already on a computer list and organizing inaugural meetings to advance the no-more-aircraft-noise agenda. -

1973-04-15Move for new county pits suburbs against urban core
A movement in the early 1970s sought to carve a new 'Evergreen County' from the southwestern portion of King County, pitting suburban communities like Burien, Federal Way, and Normandy Park against the Seattle-dominated urban core. Residents in the proposed area argued that King County was too closely tied to Seattle's interests and was failing to deliver government services proportionate to the taxes they paid. The effort, still in its infancy at the time of this article, required gathering roughly 60,000 voter signatures to compel the state Legislature to consider creating the new county.
