2. This will have a negative effect for me

Paine field is attached to the huge Boeing plant where final assembly was done so there were the occasional test flights.

There has been an increase in the number of flights since they opened it up to cargo flights. The addition of passenger flights will, at the least, quadruple the number of flights overhead. This will decrease my property value and decrease the air quality.

We were assured that the Environmental Impact Statement showed no negative effects to my neighborhood. Don't even get me started on what a fraud the EIS process is.

So, you may be happy you didn't have to drive those extra minutes to SeaTac, but we aren't.
