Your 2 cents

Community members from Sea-Tac area neighborhoods gathered at Meeting #3 to identify local assets worth preserving—including trees, parks, historic routes, natural streams, and unique communities like Seahurst—and to voice concerns about poor planning, airport noise, and lack of public services. Residents called for comprehensive planning, revised building codes, tax incentives for aesthetically pleasing development, and stronger government action to protect green spaces and waterfront access. Frustration with the Port of Seattle's unresponsiveness to community input on noise and development issues was a recurring theme across multiple neighborhood groups.
