★ 32This 1980 draft report, produced by the Puget Sound Council of Governments, outlines a Regional Airport System Plan for the Central Puget Sound area covering the years 1980 to 2000.

1991-08-01Puget Sound Air Transportation Committee News: Public Shapes Air Capacity Alternatives
In 1991, the Puget Sound Air Transportation Committee (PSATC) gathered public input on long-term air capacity solutions for the Seattle region, with over 1,200 people participating through meetings and written comments. Key public concerns included opposition to expanding Sea-Tac Airport, worries about noise and air pollution impacts on nearby residents, and support for high-speed rail alternatives. The committee identified several potentially feasible options—including multiple airport systems and a new international airport to replace Sea-Tac—while ruling out others, such as a distant remote airport and high-speed rail alone, as insufficient stand-alone solutions. -

In April 1989, the Port of Seattle Commission passed Resolution No. 3042 authorizing the Executive Director to enter into an agreement with the Puget Sound Council of Governments (PSCOG) to develop a long-term regional air carrier system plan for the Puget Sound area. The resolution was prompted by a recognized need for additional air carrier capacity beyond the year 2000, following a 1988 Airspace Study Update of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The agreement allowed the Port to seek federal FAA funding and hire consultants to study long-term aviation capacity options for the region. -
