A flyer from the Seahurst Community Club urging residents to oppose a proposed expansion of Sea-Tac Airport, including the addition of a third runway, which was one of four alternatives being considered by the Puget Sound Council of Governments in 1988. The document warns of serious community impacts such as increased noise and air pollution, displacement of hundreds of families, falling home values, zoning changes, and the loss of 13 Highline School District facilities. Residents were directed to contact the Puget Sound Council of Governments, Port of Seattle Commissioners, and King County Councilmembers before the Final Environmental Impact Statement was issued on March 17, 1988.

This April 1982 edition of the Sea-Tac Flyer, the Port of Seattle's employee newsletter, explains how airlines set up operations at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport following federal deregulation in 1978. It details the process new carriers must follow, including obtaining route authorization, negotiating facility leases or sharing arrangements with established airlines, and working with Port departments on construction and agreements. The issue also covers airline announcements, a Black History Month exhibit, and other employee news from the airport.

This brochure from the Greater Highline Community Parks Board outlines the Master Plan for North Sea-Tac Park, a 50-acre recreational area developed in the airport's north clear zone — land set aside due to aircraft noise impacts. Formed after a 1979 jointly funded planning effort by the Port of Seattle and King County, the nonprofit board manages the park and the Sunset Activity Center (a former junior high school), offering facilities for groups such as a BMX club, equestrian association, and Kennedy High School cross-country trails. The document also promotes a Booster Club membership drive to support continued park development and operations.

This is a campaign mailer for King Lysen, a Democratic candidate for King County Council Position 7 in the early 1970s, highlighting his record of challenging government spending and operations in King County, Washington. Lysen was notably active in anti-noise efforts related to Sea-Tac Airport, including revealing port airport planning details to the public and sponsoring a state bill to expand the port commission from five to nine members. The mailer compiles endorsements from outlets such as the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the Argus, and the Federal Way News, emphasizing his reputation as a government watchdog and advocate for residents affected by airport noise.
