Burien, Des Moines, and SeaTac offer resources and comment templates as the public comment deadline for the airport expansion moves to Aug. 20.

Residents, elected officials, labor unions, and business leaders shared sharply differing views on SeaTac Airport expansion during the July 9 public hearing.

Burien and Des Moines airport committees meet Monday to discuss SAMP, airport impacts, and community input before comments close July 21.

STACC4J has renewed its request for a 90-day public comment period on the SAMP DEIS, citing concerns raised during July 9 testimony.

More than 40 speakers addressed Port commissioners July 9, with most urging stronger health protections, mitigation, and environmental review of airport expansion.

Residents planning to testify at the July 9 airport expansion hearing should know key deadlines, parking tips, meeting logistics, and background.

"This is a big deal," said Burien Airport Committee Vice Chair Brian Davis. "Residents can speak directly to Port commissioners about how airport expansion will affect their families."

Hosted by local community groups, the SeaTac gathering helped residents learn, ask questions, share experiences, and make their voices heard.
