So... We getting that 3rd Runway?
"A state agency has finally given the Port of Seattle a vital permit in its bid to build a third runway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport...
But the board ordered that 16 conditions be met before the Port can apply for a permit from the federal Army Corps of Engineers that would give the final go-ahead... The 16 conditions are meant to mitigate impacts to wetlands on the site and three nearby creeks..."

I would actually love it if Paine Field was turned into a major airport (for my preferred airlines). It'd save me at least 1 1/2 hours driving.

About 10 years ago there was a list of sites for a new airport to supplement SEA, and Paine field was one of them. However, Boeing pretty much said "Lay off", and the state complied.
How about expanding Bellingham?

And, the tracks run right from Downtown to PAE (up the side of Boeing) un-interrupted which if thought was put into it, would make a Nice PAE-EXpress (ala, Heathrow Express) thing. Of course, I guess I wouldn't mind one of our umpteen transportaiton systems that we are apparently building to actually get TO the airport (SEATAC) instead of 1/2 mile or 1 mile short of it.
Ok, I should stop dreaming now...

It's a remote control airport, quite a bit of fun to watch.
Back to topic, does anybody have the name or website of that "Alternate Airport" group?
