    Sea-Tac Communities Plan Fact Sheet No. 6: Study Area Overview

    This 1973 fact sheet from the Sea-Tac Communities Plan describes a 44.2-square-mile study area surrounding Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, covering communities including Burien, White Center, Normandy Park, and Des Moines, with a 1970 population of 137,000. The document inventories local schools, parks, utilities, and services in the region, and provides socioeconomic data showing a predominantly white, middle-income population with a median household income of $11,238. The plan was jointly sponsored by King County and the Port of Seattle with the goal of maximizing compatibility between the airport and its surrounding communities.

    Draft report of the Land Use Committee: Sea-Tac Communities Plan

    This draft report from the King County Policy Development Commission's Land Use Committee outlines the planning process for the Sea-Tac Communities Plan, a joint effort between King County and the Port of Seattle funded by a $640,000 FAA grant awarded in 1972. The plan aimed to concurrently develop a master plan for Sea-Tac International Airport and a companion land-use plan for surrounding communities most affected by airport noise and operations. A Policy Advisory Committee representing government agencies, consultants, and community groups oversaw the process, which moved through four phases covering data collection, site analysis, alternative plan development, and final recommendations for adoption by both the King County Council and the Seattle Port Commission.

    Sea-Tac Communities Plan: Map Supplement to Sixth Month Report

    The Sea-Tac/Communities Plan is a planning study co-sponsored by the Port of Seattle and King County, funded through a federal grant under the Airport and Airways Development Act of 1970. It serves as a map supplement to a sixth-month report, covering community trends and characteristics, land use, ground transportation and traffic, aesthetic and visual qualities, and natural determinants in the communities surrounding Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The 1973 report includes demographic data such as median age, the percentage of residents under 20, and the percentage of residents 65 and older, mapped across 1970 census tracts in the Sea-Tac area.

  • Sea Tac Communities Plan 1600

    A land use planning map produced under the Sea-Tac Communities Plan, sponsored by the Port of Seattle and King County, showing zoning categories (residential, commercial, office, airport facility, open space, etc.) for the area surrounding Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The legend identifies uses including air terminal/related business, highway-oriented business, community retail, industry, and key circulation features, with a scale bar indicating coverage at 1:500 to 6,000 feet.

  • Sea-Tac Community Plan Land Use Sideways

    A color-coded GIS-style map overlay showing noise contour zones or land-use impact areas surrounding what appears to be a major airport runway complex at center. Colors ranging from light yellow to deep red and dark olive likely represent varying levels of noise exposure or compatible/incompatible land uses, with road networks shown in black and red lines.

  • SCP_sideways

    A color-coded planning map showing noise contour zones or land-use impact areas radiating from a central airport runway facility, depicted in shades of yellow, red, brown, and dark olive-green. Blue lines appear to represent waterways or transportation corridors, and bold black lines indicate road or grid infrastructure overlaid on a topographic base map.

    A planning map from the Sea-Tac Communities Plan, sponsored by the Port of Seattle and King County, showing the South Reinforcement Area program application. The map uses color coding to designate zones for acquisition, purchase guarantee, cost-sharing insulation, and limited cost-sharing insulation in the area bounded roughly by S. 200th St. to the north and S. 223rd St. to the south, including grid cells along 16th Ave. S., 24th Ave. S., and Pacific Highway South (SR-99), with a Southeast Conversion Area noted in the upper right.

  • STCP-6.6.5-25-south

    A planning map produced under the Sea-Tac Communities Plan, sponsored by the Port of Seattle and King County, depicting the South Reinforcement Area program application near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The map identifies land-use zones including the Southwest Conversion Area, Southeast Conversion Area, and color-coded program interventions such as acquisition, purchase guarantee, cost-sharing insulation, and limited cost-sharing insulation, with grid cells referenced by noise criteria (e.g., N-25 through Q-28) and landmarks including Woodside School, Manhattan Elementary, and Tyee Golf Course.
