Thurston County is in the State's gunsights for a huge airport the size of seatac, if not larger. The residents in the areas considered have made their voices heard-no. Absolutely NOT. The County Commissioners have told the State NO, absolutely not.
"The state isn't listening to us," a woman at the Commissioner's office told me.
No kidding.
We're In the Way. We're ants to them, mere dust. They know we're going to complain and even fight, but they have the time, the budget and the lawyers to defeat us.
They want what we have-the land our homes sit on-and they will take it.
The dreams of electric airplanes is merely that, a dream. Maybe a small commuter plane with a small range might work, but the State is thinking giant jets, like the Dreamliner and the 767.
Yet people living in Yakima or Walla Walla have to drive all day just to get to SeaTac for a flight the next day. Why not put it in Moses Lake, like they planned to years ago?
Why another one at ALL?
Because there's money to be made by someone at the expense of hundreds of others lives and homes. Money that will come out of OUR property taxes, while the values of our homes plummet, and the fat cats planning this sit back and sneer at our NIMBY attitude.
