1987-10-01Regional Airport System Plan 1988-2020: Air transportation element of the Regional Transportation Plan
★The 1988-2020 Regional Airport System Plan, published in October 1987, outlines policies for managing and developing public-use airports across King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties through the year 2020. A central finding is that Sea-Tac Airport was projected to reach full capacity within 10 to 15 years, with intolerable aircraft delays expected unless alternative measures were taken. The plan also addresses noise and flight track mitigation programs, land use compatibility near airports, and the potential role of satellite airports such as Paine Field, Bremerton National, and Tacoma Narrows in relieving pressure on Sea-Tac. -

2025-09-08Aircraft Noise Reduction Act (H.R. 5205)
H.R. 5205, the Aircraft Noise Reduction Act, is a bill introduced in September 2025 that would allow owners and operators of general aviation airports to work with the FAA to adjust air traffic and training flight patterns in order to reduce aircraft noise in surrounding communities. The bill protects airports from losing federal funding simply for pursuing these noise-reduction measures and requires community input to be considered in the process. It also directs the Secretary of Transportation to update federal regulations to make noise abatement measures more accessible to general aviation airports. -
