    Economy, traffic fuel commercial-service talk

    This article from the Snohomish County Business Journal discusses growing interest in establishing scheduled commercial air service at Paine Field in Everett, Washington, as an alternative to the congested Sea-Tac Airport. Supporters argue that commercial flights would boost the local economy and attract new businesses, while noting that modern, quieter aircraft have significantly reduced noise concerns. The county's 20-year airport master plan, approved in December, projected commuter service flights from Paine Field within five years.

    Appendix 7: Regional aviation

    The Puget Sound Regional Council adopted resolutions in 1993 and 1996 establishing the region's long-term commercial air transportation policy, concluding that a third runway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) should be pursued alongside additional noise reduction measures. The council determined that small supplemental airports, including Paine Field, would not serve as alternatives for meeting regional commercial air capacity needs. These decisions were incorporated into the 1995 Metropolitan Transportation Plan and are maintained in the Destination 2030 regional transportation framework.

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.
