1978-01-01Letter from King County Councilman Bob Grieve on Boeing HQ Relocation and Highline Community Plan
King County Councilman Bob Greive wrote to constituents expressing his opposition to the relocation of Boeing's headquarters into an open space buffer zone near Sea-Tac Airport, an area designated under the 1977 Highline Community Plan to protect nearby residents from airport-related impacts. Despite his protests, the King County Council voted to amend the comprehensive plan and rezone the land from single-family residential to light manufacturing, with only three of nine council members opposing the measure. Greive vowed to continue fighting airport development that threatened surrounding neighborhoods and asked residents for their input on how to hold the Port Commission, federal government, and King County accountable to their promises regarding Sea-Tac. -

1977-03-14Substitute ordinance establishing Airport Open Use (AOU) zoning classification
Ordinance 77-106, introduced in March 1977, established the Airport Open Use (AOU) zoning classification for areas around major airports like Sea-Tac, allowing compatible economic activities such as agriculture, public parks, commercial recreation, and public utility facilities while protecting neighboring residential areas. The ordinance sets strict conditions on signage, building setbacks, landscaping buffers, and livestock density to minimize conflicts with adjacent residential zones. Uses like golf courses, outdoor storage, and cemeteries require conditional use permits when the property borders residential (R or S) zones. -

1976-03-31Port of Seattle response to Virginia Dana regarding home relocation boundaries
In March 1976, Virginia Dana wrote to Donald G. Shay, Director of Aviation at Sea-Tac International Airport, questioning why the Port of Seattle had not updated its relocation boundaries for airport-acquired homes to reflect new high-noise zones identified in the Sea-Tac Communities Plan. She argued that using Highway 99 as an eastern boundary was inadequate and that vacant lots east of the airport, between the airport and South 126th, could accommodate relocated homes while boosting the local tax base. Shay responded that the Port would review her suggestion and consider whether to revise its existing relocation directives.
