This handwritten notebook page (Book #2) appears to contain a list of names and notes related to a community or council meeting, including references to individuals such as Frank Colson, Kelly Borrows, and Alan Fuentes, along with notations that may relate to an HP City Council and community concerns. The cursive handwriting is partially upside-down and difficult to fully decipher, but suggests a record of attendees or contacts involved in a local policy or noise-related discussion. No specific Sea-Tac Airport noise policy details are clearly legible in this fragment.

This article examines the growing trade and economic integration along the I-5 corridor connecting Portland, Seattle-Tacoma-Everett, and Vancouver, B.C., highlighting cross-border cooperation, Pacific Rim trade opportunities, and regional population and industrial growth in the late 20th century. It does not contain content related to Sea-Tac Airport noise policy.

This document appears to be an organizational roster for CASE (Citizens Against Sea-Tac Expansion), listing officer positions and contact information including a Chair (acting), Vice Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, and members of Technical and Research Committees focused on noise and environmental health concerns. The document references a goal of addressing airport expansion alternatives and includes phone numbers for key members such as Loretta Bower (Treasurer) and Joan Bell (Secretary). It likely dates from the early period of community organizing around Sea-Tac Airport expansion opposition.

This document is a membership fact sheet for the Regional Civil Aviation Authority (RCAA), listing dozens of member organizations opposed to Sea-Tac Airport noise and expansion, including neighborhood councils, city governments, and advocacy groups such as the Aircraft Noise Coalition (ANC) and Citizens Alternatives to Sea-Tac Expansion (CASE). Member cities include Des Moines, Normandy Park, and Tukwila, alongside institutions like Highline Community Hospital and Highline School District. The sheet highlights the broad coalition of community stakeholders united around aircraft noise abatement and opposition to airport expansion in the Seattle-Tacoma region.

A letter from the Regional Commission on Airport Affairs (RCAA) to Senator Skratek urges review of air capacity issues related to Sea-Tac Airport expansion, noting that the expansion could negatively affect many people. The letter encloses a book suggested by Jeff Newell containing executive summaries and charts covering air capacity issues, and requests 30 minutes of the Senator's time before the final Transportation Policy Board vote on March 4. The letter is endorsed by a wide range of community organizations, cities, and advocacy groups opposed to or concerned about Sea-Tac expansion.

This brochure, published by the Regional Commission on Airport Affairs (RCAA), argues against the Port of Seattle's 'Flight Plan' proposal to add a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. It highlights existing noise burdens on South End communities—where jet noise already averages 65 Ldn and reaches up to 105 decibels—and warns that the expansion would add 120,000 more flights annually by 2020, consuming 12% of residents' daily lives with jet noise. The document cites health experts and a renowned noise specialist, Dr. James Chalupnik, to advocate for alternative solutions such as remote airports and high-speed rail instead of expanding the urban airport.

This pamphlet from the Regional Commission on Airport Affairs (RCAA) opposes a proposed third runway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, arguing that construction costs alone could exceed $500 million and balloon to $1.2 billion when mitigation and interest are included. Economists cited in the document warn that the true total cost could approach $2 billion when factoring in school insulation, declining property values, and other indirect impacts on surrounding communities. The RCAA contends that taxpayers and airline passengers would bear up to 92% of the cost while receiving a runway that generates less than 1% return on the public's investment.

This community newsletter from the RCAA (Residents for a Cleaner Airport Area) outlines how Highline-area communities near Seattle's Sea-Tac Airport have held the Port of Seattle accountable for noise, water pollution, and runaway construction costs on a proposed third runway. Key victories include a $150 million noise-mitigation settlement for Highline schools, a court-ordered halt to third-runway construction due to unmet environmental permit requirements, and improved water quality in local streams. The document urges residents to stay engaged, warning that the Port continues to pursue runway expansion despite being $3 billion in debt and facing ongoing legal and environmental challenges.
