City doesn’t help with aircraft noise | Letter

Again our mayor has not stepped up to protect the residents of Federal Way, I refer specifically to the meeting he attended with the Port of Seattle and Federal Aviation Administration.

They had the gall to look at the residents of Federal Way and nearby communities and tell us that there has been no change to the flight paths into and out of SeaTac.

When I purchased my home over 10 years ago all flights went over I-5 and turned over Commencement Bay. Now, flights turn over my home and I am on the flight patch for an EVA air lines heavy at 0200 and 0400.

I want someone to take up the cause and file suit against Federal Way, the Port of Seattle and the aviation administration for the impact of the new flight paths.

I am willing to contribute money to make this happen. I am willing to bet if a freedom of information request was made regarding meeting between the Port of Seattle and Federal Aviation Administration on how to approach the most recent meeting, we would find them in collusion to obscure the true facts.

Further, the environment impact statements should be reviewed to see if they are following the letter of the law.
