    Draft report of the Land Use Committee: Sea-Tac Communities Plan

    This draft report from the King County Policy Development Commission's Land Use Committee outlines the planning process for the Sea-Tac Communities Plan, a joint effort between King County and the Port of Seattle funded by a $640,000 FAA grant awarded in 1972. The plan aimed to concurrently develop a master plan for Sea-Tac International Airport and a companion land-use plan for surrounding communities most affected by airport noise and operations. A Policy Advisory Committee representing government agencies, consultants, and community groups oversaw the process, which moved through four phases covering data collection, site analysis, alternative plan development, and final recommendations for adoption by both the King County Council and the Seattle Port Commission.

    Attention King County taxpayers: Third Runway at Sea-Tac Airport

    A community advocacy flyer from RCAA (Residential Communities Against Airport expansion) urges King County taxpayers to oppose the planned Third Runway at Sea-Tac Airport, warning that the Port of Seattle's $3.3 billion expansion lacks firm financing and could result in significant tax increases for King County residents. The flyer highlights that the Port can raise property levies by over 60% without voter approval, and that elected officials from neighboring counties — whose residents face no such tax burden — will have a vote in approving the project through the Puget Sound Regional Council. Residents are urged to contact local officials including King County Executive Gary Locke, Seattle Mayor Norm Rice, and their respective councils to oppose the expansion.
