    How to Get In, Out, and Around Sea-Tac International Airport

    This circa-1980 visitor guide for Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac) International Airport describes the layout and services available to travelers, including the automated Satellite Transit System—an underground railway connecting the main terminal to the North and South Satellites and Concourses B and C. The brochure covers amenities such as banking, dining, a nursery lounge, and Travelers' Aid, and includes a terminal map showing airline gate assignments and ground transportation options. It also notes that the Port of Seattle received a 1975 Federal Aviation Administration award for its attention to land compatibility, landscaping, and contemporary art throughout the airport.

    Highline Zoning Plan Errata

    This February 20, 1980 errata document lists official corrections to the Highline Zoning Plan, a proposed area zoning document and accompanying maps covering communities in the Highline area near Seattle. The corrections update specific zoning designations on several map sections, such as changing certain parcels to residential multi-family (RM) or business-commercial (B-C) classifications, and fix a text sequencing error in the zoning document. These adjustments reflect policy decisions aimed at guiding land use—including residential density and commercial development—in neighborhoods in the vicinity of what is now Sea-Tac Airport.

    Memorandum to Rep. Barnes & Rohrbach: Port District Restructuring Proposals

    A January 1979 legislative memorandum from research analyst Jay Holman to Washington state representatives proposes amendments to port district governance laws, including allowing voters to split port districts into separate functional entities and modify how port commissioners are elected. A follow-up note from January 31, 1979 refines the proposal, suggesting that five port commissioners be retained but that three be elected from newly formed sub-districts and two chosen at-large, with changes to take effect at the November 1979 general election.

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.
