This 1974 report by the King County Environmental Development Commission outlines capital improvement projects tentatively scheduled for the Highline Area — a community near present-day Sea-Tac Airport — covering the years 1974 through 1979. Prepared to encourage public input before financial and legislative commitments were finalized, it invited residents to review and discuss planned development projects at a public meeting held at Highline High School in Burien on February 13, 1974.

A 1973 public opinion survey commissioned by the Port of Seattle and King County found that nearly one in five Highline-area residents considered airplane noise from Sea-Tac Airport their community's single most serious problem, with concern rising sharply among those living in the highest-noise zones. Highline residents were more likely to want to move than those in quieter comparison areas, though the survey also found that the Port of Seattle was viewed favorably by a strong majority across all groups surveyed.
