    Satellite Image of Single-Runway Airport With Urban Development

    Google Earth satellite image (U.S. Geological Survey) showing a single primary runway airport surrounded by dense urban development. Visible features include parallel taxiways, terminal apron areas with parked aircraft, and a highway corridor to the west. This does not appear to be Sea-Tac Airport, which has multiple parallel runways.

    Sea-Tac International Airport: Part 3 — Boeing Bust to Deregulation

    The Port of Seattle built Seattle-Tacoma International Airport during World War II to relieve pressure on existing airports such as Seattle’s Boeing Field. Following the war, Sea-Tac quickly established itself as the region’s aviation hub, but it had to undertake major improvements to accommodate newer jet aircraft and steadily increasing numbers of passengers. During the

    Second Runway Construction Aerial Photograph 1969

    Black-and-white aerial photograph showing a large commercial or military airport with multiple runways in an X/crosswind configuration, taxiways, terminal areas, and extensive surrounding residential and commercial development. The image appears to be a historical mosaic aerial survey photograph, consistent with mid-20th century planning or noise-study documentation.

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
