The image appears to be a historical mosaic aerial survey photograph, consistent with mid-20th century planning or noise-study documentation.

    Black-and-white aerial photograph showing a commercial airport with a central terminal building, circular access road, parking areas, multiple runways in an X/cross configuration, and what appear to be propeller-era aircraft on the apron. The layout and scale are consistent with a regional hub airport, likely dating from the 1950s or early 1960s based on aircraft types and terminal design visible, but no text, captions, or watermarks are present to confirm the specific facility or date.

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.
