    Toledo-Winlock area visitation

    A September 1992 internal memo from Doug Graves and Len Oebser to Rick Aramburu summarizes a site visit to the Toledo-Winlock area of Washington State as a potential location for a new replacement airport. The site was praised for its large size, proximity to the I-5 freeway midway between Seattle and Portland, access to Burlington Northern rail lines, and its sparsely populated surroundings, which would minimize noise and environmental impacts. However, drawbacks noted included its distance from major population centers such as Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, and Portland, which would require some form of mass rapid transit to serve the airport effectively.

    Jackson International Airport noise remedy update: Overall program boundaries

    This 1984 draft document from the Port of Seattle outlines the Noise Remedy Update program for Seattle-Tacoma (Jackson) International Airport, defining geographic boundaries for three types of noise mitigation measures: property acquisition, purchase assurance, and sound insulation. The maps cover areas north through south of the airport, including neighborhoods such as Boulevard Park, Des Moines, Normandy Park, and Zenith, showing which zones qualify for each remedy based on aircraft noise exposure. Sound insulation coverage extends as far north as S. Kenyon Street, while acquisition zones are concentrated in the areas immediately surrounding the airport's runways.

    Sea-Tac International Airport Noise Exposure Update: Sea-Tac Airfield Layout and Flight Tracks

    This document presents the Sea-Tac International Airport Noise Exposure Update prepared for the Port of Seattle, including a detailed airfield layout showing the two parallel runways (16R/16L and 34R/34L) and associated taxiways. It also includes flight track maps for both South Flow and North Flow operations, illustrating arrival and departure routes used by aircraft over the surrounding communities. The exhibits provide a geographic overview of how flight paths extend across the Seattle metropolitan area, informing noise exposure assessments for airport planning and policy purposes.

Sea-Tac Airport is currently undergoing the largest and longest expansion in its history, collectively known as the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP). Some of it you can already hear, but you’re probably not aware of what it all means. Here’s what you need to know.

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.
