    Economy, traffic fuel commercial-service talk

    This article from the Snohomish County Business Journal discusses growing interest in establishing scheduled commercial air service at Paine Field in Everett, Washington, as an alternative to the congested Sea-Tac Airport. Supporters argue that commercial flights would boost the local economy and attract new businesses, while noting that modern, quieter aircraft have significantly reduced noise concerns. The county's 20-year airport master plan, approved in December, projected commuter service flights from Paine Field within five years.

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.

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.
