+ G 4 The Seattle Times Wednesday, April 9, 1980 Proposal for airport on Eastside pops up again by Charles Brown Times suburban reporter EAST KING COUNTY - After more than a year o[ dormancy, the specter of a new small-craft airport somewhere on the East- side has surfaced again. Revived by the Federal Avi- ation Administration, the airport proposal is being looked at by the state Department of Transporta- tion's aeronautics division, county planners and Port of Seattle officials. A Washington Airport Systems Plan has determined a need for eight new general-aviation air- ports in the Puget Sound region by the year 2000. And from the state's point of view, one of those airports is need- ed on the Eastside to fill a de- mand for aviation facilities, caused in part by closure of the Bellevue Airfield and encroach· ment on other regional airports. William H. Hamilton, assistant secretary for state aeronautics, emphasized that a new airport on the Eastside is still in the proposal stage. · "Nothing is concrete yet," he said. "We are merely talking in concepts at this point." He also acknowledged that'the airport idea has received an un- friendly reception by some East- side residents, who "do not want to see an airport in their backyards." Hamilton and representatives from the F.A.A., county and Pmt have fonned a task force to deter- mine how the airport could be im· plememed and financed, and where it ultimately shou!d be located. Out of an area which reaches… -

“Nobody WANTS an airport in his backyard,” said Mayor Lorraine Hine of Des Moines. “But in South King Couniy we’ve always lived in the shadow of airports and planes and there seem to be more planes all the time.” Mayor Hine said the smaller general-aviation planes are be-coming a real hazard competing for air space -

1978-08-15 00:00Seattle Times – Controversial Advisory Group to Continue Quarterly Sessions, August 1978
al proposal to reorganize or restructure the contra versial Port of Seattle Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) was bypassed last week as members decided to continue quarterly sessions for another year. PAC, born in 1973 to put together the Sea-Tac Communities Plan, was reorganized about 18 months ago as a continuing body that would oversee carrying out the plan. The group is made up of representatives from the airport, the airlines, the Federal Aviation Admin- istration, King County, the Highline School District, businesses, cities and the neighborh(xxi. Thi latter has been a stickler. The idea was to have four community representatives selected by the Highline Community Council to represent the' com' munities east, west, south and north. But some airport-area residents have complained they weren’t represented on the committee. Calling themselves the “Zone 3 Committee” (their neighbor- h(xxi is in an area designated that by F.A.A.-mandat- ed noise standards surrounding the airport), last Jan- uary they convinced the Policy Advisory Committee to add a community member from their group. But even that didn’t satisfy them. “We’re the people most affected by the airport,” Jean Pihlman, a Zone 3 member, has said at meeting after meeting. “But we have the least say. We aren’t fairly represented on PAC. and we must be.” As a group, PAC has had little time to “oversee implementation of the Sea-Tac plan,” as its mandate nquires. Instead, its nreetings have repeatedly disin' tegrated into heated discussions with Zone 3 mem- tnrs and with other special-interest groups. The… -
