    Regional Aviation Baseline Study

    The Regional Aviation Baseline Study, conducted by the Puget Sound Regional Council, examines 29 airports across King, Snohomish, Kitsap, and Pierce counties to understand how aviation activities interact with communities and the broader regional economy. The study identifies each airport's role, gathers stakeholder input on aviation and airspace constraints, and sets the groundwork for future regional aviation planning. While Sea-Tac Airport serves as the region's primary large hub, the study provides context for understanding how operations across all regional airports—and their associated noise and community impacts—fit into the larger Puget Sound air transportation network.
