RASP 1988 DEIS Executive Summary
This 1987 Draft Environmental Impact Statement from the Puget Sound Council of Governments evaluates alternatives for expanding and managing the regional airport system through the year 2020, assessing their potential environmental and economic impacts. The study found that all alternatives would generate significant impacts to both natural and human environments, with the key difference being whether those impacts would be concentrated at existing airports or spread across new locations. Extensive mitigation measures were identified as necessary for any chosen alternative, and no single option was found to be clearly superior to the others. -

Regional Airport System Plan 1988-2020: Air transportation element of the Regional Transportation Plan
★The 1988-2020 Regional Airport System Plan, published in October 1987, outlines policies for managing and developing public-use airports across King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties through the year 2020. A central finding is that Sea-Tac Airport was projected to reach full capacity within 10 to 15 years, with intolerable aircraft delays expected unless alternative measures were taken. The plan also addresses noise and flight track mitigation programs, land use compatibility near airports, and the potential role of satellite airports such as Paine Field, Bremerton National, and Tacoma Narrows in relieving pressure on Sea-Tac. -

Regional Airport System Plan
The Regional Airport System Plan, published in June 1982 by the Puget Sound Council of Governments (PSCOG), provides policy guidance for aviation planning across the greater Puget Sound region, including the Seattle-Tacoma area. Prepared with funding from member jurisdictions, the Washington State Department of Transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Port of Seattle, the plan addresses regional airport system needs and aviation forecasts. It was developed under the oversight of PSCOG's Standing Committee on Transportation, which included representatives from King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap counties. -
