SeaTacNoise.Info has received a grant from 4Culture, King County's cultural funding agency, to help complete a documentary film titled 'Under The Flight Path: A Community History of Sea-Tac Airport.' The film aims to tell the largely untold story of communities living near Sea-Tac Airport from its founding in 1949 to the present, drawing on a library of over 300,000 historical documents. Unlike existing histories focused on the aviation industry's successes, the documentary seeks to provide a balanced perspective for residents and stakeholders as the airport's growth continues to accelerate.
