    With the emergence of Coronavirus, we’ve noticed a great deal of Schadenfreude among airport activists across the world. Comments such as “It’s so quiet now. We should have an outbreak like this all the time!” The thing most residents forget is that we actually did twenty years ago. It was called ‘9/11’. If you look

  • Demos don’t endorse Lamphear or Clark

    Against the backdrop of a sharply divided Burien City Council, 34th District Democrats declined on Aug. 10 to endorse either Councilman Stephen Lamphear or his challenger, former Councilwoman Rose Clark. Both candidates appeared to receive the support of a majority of party members who voted; however, a two-thirds majority was required for an endorsement. Lamphear,

    Left vs. Right in County Council race

    A 1973 Seattle Times article covers a King County Council race between Democratic incumbent King Lysen and Republican challenger Paul Barden, with both candidates divided on county issues including noise concerns near Seattle-Tacoma Airport. Lysen, representing County Council District 7, expressed concern about residents near the airport and the impact of county policies on property values and noise levels in the Puget Sound region. The race was expected to be closely contested, with the outcome likely to influence county policy on development and noise management near Sea-Tac.

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.
