    Letter from Virginia Lane Regarding Zoning Non-Compliance at Glendale and Glacier Schools

    A community member raises concerns about zoning non-compliance at closed Highline School District schools, including Glendale and Glacier, noting that the County was aware of violations as early as a July 18th letter. The document questions whether proper permitting processes were followed before tenants moved into Glacier, and references a list of non-compliant businesses in the Highline vicinity submitted to King County zoning officials. The author expresses broader concern about lack of transparency and accountability among county officials and the school district, and worries that a two-year lease at Glacier could set a long-term precedent.

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.

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.
