The bottom line here is that Seattle has taken the NIMBY approach to the question, prohibiting consideration of another airport in King County or expansion of SeaTac. Instead they are keen to make Thurston County or Pierce County a suburb of Seattle. Typical entitled thinking. Moses Lake and Yakima have both expressed an interest in a new airport and Moses Lake has a very large abandoned US Air Force bomber base nearby. It is a near perfect location that would contribute to adding infrastructure to the flyover area of our state and eliminate the need for folks on the other side of the mountains to drive to Seattle before flying elsewhere. There are abundant reasons to site this facility in a better location and no reason to ruin our water resources in Pierce or Thurston Counties to suit Seattle/ King County. I urge all our local government officials in both counties to address this legislative question with all the representatives in Thurston County, Pierce County, the east side of the Cascades and any other ones that have a vested interest in the question. The process has produced precisely the wrong result and must be revisited.
