Last week we finished our last setup episode describing the Port of Seattle (Ep # 5 A Very Special Purpose District. This week's episode moves onto current events, some longstanding issues with airport communities everywhere and an introduction to the STNI 2026 Legislative Agenda.Housekeeping: We mention the upcoming SAMP Draft EA, ROD and Part 150 public workshops, all the events you can follow by subscribing.Stammering: Host JC talks about why he stammers and gets so cranky, our Zero Tolerance Policy for Misinformation. We look back on what happened when the airport community put real money into community building. Spoiler alert: it doesn't work. And why that gives politicians a free pass to do nothing.Meeting updates: Every meeting we watch is painful. There is so little information sharing and so much misinformation. Don't talk about second airports. Don't talk about roundtables when there is one 4.5 miles away! Don't talk about a lack of air quality monitoring! Don't talk about suing if you don't know what you're suing about!Legislative Agenda 2026: We finish by talking about a history of community impact studies, the wonderful 1997 HOK, the absolutely terrible 2019 Stantec, and why we cannot afford not to do HOK 2026.With the upcoming SAMP we need a new, independent community impacts study to provide a comprehensive set of mitigations and compensation.1997 Sea-Tac Airport Impact Study (HOK)2019 Stantec Study2023 King County Aircraft Emissions Task Force2024 Sustainable Airport Master Plan Appendix KKCIA Airport RoundtableSTNI: Legislation 2026To learn the rest of the story on each of these programs: stni.info/subscribeSubscribe to our video feed
