About Quiet Skies Puget Sound (QSPS)
Founded by Des Moines resident Sheila Brush, QSPS is the 28th chapter of the National Quiet Skies Coalition
(our NSQC Congressional Caucus representatives are Rep. Adam Smith and Pramila Jayapal). QSPS works
directly with federal, state, and local legislators, and QSPS is supported regionally by a strong, dedicated
grass roots organization of committed community members concerned about the newly added flight paths
and increased noise and emission levels over the residents and businesses of the entire Puget Sound region.
QSPS provides information, education and activism with a robust social media presence premised on a
foundation that balances the desire for safe and efficient air travel without sacrificing the livability of our
neighborhoods  our quality of life. If you are hearing it, you are breathing it.

About The Briefing Project
The Briefing Project is a year-long journalism, commentary, activism, and social media project created by Des
Moines resident, attorney, and filmmaker Steve Edmiston. The Projectis intended to culminate with a
feature documentary film about elected officials with a choice to continue, stop, or mitigate, the harms
caused to humans and the environment by noise and emissions from overflight operations. The Briefing
Project introduced the "Port of Seattle Airport Neighbor Community (POSANC) Accords," with ten initiatives
ranging from general policy (e.g., protecting health and environmentas a pre-condition to increasing flight
frequency); to specific mitigation (e.g., policies prioritizing night time curfews and siting a regional airport);
and initiatives reforming Port culture {e.g., policy of non-interference with environmental studies). See the
POSANC Accords at https://bit.ly/2Q3LKsf.

_ Citizen Groups Launch "League of Quiet Skies Voters"
Cl                  Datesfor Town Hall and Candidate Forums Announced

SEA-TAC AIRPORT, SEATAC, WA  Citizen groups and activists from Sea-Tac Airport neighbor
communities, including Quiet Skies Puget Sound, Burien's Quiet Skies Coalition, the Federal Way Air
Noise Alliance, and The Briefing Project, have formed the "League of Quiet Skies Voters" to assure that
impacts from recent and proposed airport expansion on human health and the environment are a focal
point for the 2019 election cycle. The announcement was made during today's Port of Seattle
Commission Meeting.

According to Quiet Skies Puget Sound founder Sheila Brush, "The Port of Seattle and airport added
97,000 annual flights since 2014, and want another 80,000 flights. This growth is inconsistent with the
avalanche of new science  particularly including the World Health Organization's new 2018
Environmental Noise Guidelines  which requires immediate action by policymakers to reduce aircraft
overflight noise. The science shows that noise, and particularly nighttime aircraft noise, causes increases
in high blood pressure, strokes and heart attacks, and learning environment impairments." Larry Cripe,
President of Quiet Skies Coalition, said, "We see a real opportunity with candidate forums for current
Port Commissioners, and their challengers, to listen to voters, answer questions, and explain their
records and their positions with concrete details, proposed actions, and commitments. And the over
200,000 residents and 100,000 voters in oursix airport neighbor communities can decide."

Two Port of Seattle Commissioner seats, currently held by Fred Felleman and Courtney Gregoire, are up
for election. Burien has 3 council seats up for election; Des Moines 3 seats; and Federal Way 4 seats.

Town Hall and two Candidate Forum Dates Announced

The League of Quiet Skies Voters will sponsor a Town Hall on April 25, 2019, at the Highline Performing
Arts Centerin Burien. In addition to guest speakers, all current Port Commissioners will be invited to
respond to community questions. "The Town Hall is educational," said Steve Edmiston, creator of The
Briefing Project. "The purpose is to maximize voter education on airport expansion, the health and
environmental risks, make sure there is fact and science-based information about the issues, hear from
elected officials about their ideas and plans, and create an opportunity for community questions and
answers."

The League will also sponsor two candidate forums for Port and city council candidates.
In advance of the August 6, 2019, primary:

In advance of general election:
