ANYWHERE in Thurston County is NOT a good place for a new commercial or freight airport. At some point - in the distant future - when planes are all electric and silent we maybe might revisit this.
A new airport with current aircraft means noise and pollution. And traffic - more traffic - on I-5.
All of those downsides will roll and affect us all 24-7-365.
I know about the stress of air traffic above and around as I have lived in the landing path of San Francisco International Airport in Foster City CA and 2 miles from Oakland International Airport which was on the take-off side of the strips.
It is god awful trying to get sleep or get work done or sometimes just have a conversation due to the noise. And curfews are - there and at any airport - blithely ignored.
Once an airport for passengers and freight goes in it never ever goes away.
Despite the lure of $$$ tax revenue please reject a plan to add and build an airport in the county.
Too much noise and too much traffic and too much stress - to humans and animals in the wooded area and swamps that abound.
I would also not want to “dump” this in nearby Lewis County either due to greenspace and farmland that should not be plowed under and paved over.
