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.
