This document is a detailed response regarding a proposed Washington State house bill on airport sound insulation, arguing that homeowners near Sea-Tac Airport who received faulty or inadequate noise insulation in the 1980s–2000s should qualify for a second round of repairs at no fault of their own. The author contends that poor contractor quality, a bankrupt window manufacturer, and dramatically increased flight operations have left many residents without the noise protection they were promised in exchange for signing away air rights. Key recommendations include limiting eligibility to homes originally certified under the 65 dB DNL noise contour, using certified engineers to assess repair needs, and tying funding criteria to documented increases in aircraft operations over time.
