    Report and recommendations re interim land acquisition, Sea-Tac International Airport

    In September 1973, the Port of Seattle outlined a plan to acquire approximately 610 residential properties and 75 acres of open land surrounding Sea-Tac International Airport to create expanded clear zones north and south of the runways. The total estimated property cost was $15.46 million, with the Port anticipating over $8 million in federal FAA assistance and covering the remainder from airport revenues between 1974 and 1977. Under the best-case scenario, actual land acquisition could not begin until after July 1, 1974, following required environmental impact statements, housing relocation plans, and a multi-month FAA review process.
