Your 2 cents

Notes from a 1973 community meeting series capture residents near Sea-Tac Airport expressing frustration over airport noise, inadequate government responsiveness, and the handling of Zone 3 acquisition areas. Participants from neighborhoods including Riverton Heights, Valley View, Shorewood, and Des Moines called for fair property tax relief, equitable land acquisition at market value, and better coordination among King County, the Port of Seattle, and state legislators. The document reflects widespread public distrust of the planning process and demands for more transparent, community-informed decision-making on airport expansion and noise impacts.
