Dear Commissioners
You need to find somewhere else to build your airport employee parking lot. For over 40 years that
land was promised to the community as park and open space. For over 40 years the Port of Seattle
has tried to welch on the promise of maintaining park use south of 136 ST throwing out all sorts of
facility plans and sneaky attempts to change the land use. There is no nice way to put this. The
people of the south end have sacrificed enough for the sake of the rest of the state of Washington
by providing a home for the airport. It is time to relieve the burden of those people and stop adding
to the sacrifice. Leave the open space as park as promised and find somewhere else to park cars.
You need to change tacks. A good faith gesture is to eliminate this site from your NEPA/SEPA study.

A second thing to do is to add my name and contact information to the NEPA/SEPA list.

Dear Port Seattle,
After waiting all afternoon for your phone call enabling me to testify today, i checked
my email and saw it was mail-demon as undeliverable. When i hit on the link, it only
used half of it and i did not notice when i sent you a message with my phone number
before 8 this morning.
Please allow my written testimony, if you would forward it on to the proper place, it
would be greatly appreciated.
My name is Wanda Culp, I am Tlingit, indigenous to Glacier Bay, my Tlingit name is
Kashudoha. Until May 13, i lived in Hoonah's original village town site on Front
Street. The state highway runs right through our front yards, cutting through beach
front property that all tourist interests think it is theirs to freely absorb for the tourist
industry.
When early discussions of tourist visitors into Hoonah, before Icy Strait Point was
developed 1 mile out of town, residents welcomed the idea of the small tourist vessels
bringing guests among us. Hoonah prepared for tourism in every way possible to be
good hosts to those visiting our home land. Already the cruise line industry had
corporate control of our small Alaska Native Corporation that developed the tourist
destination site at Icy Strait Point.
In 2019, Hoonah had 138 ships visit Hoonah, a population of 800 with inadequate
infrastructure for the surge in human needs and community preparedness. Had CV-
19 not hit, Hoonah's ISP would have had 211 ships, 500,000 people!!
During the 2020 CV-19 crisis, "necessary workers only" included outside contractors
steady employment to new and improved ISP all year round, the plans were kept
away from us owners. This month a large dedication ceremony occurred at ISP
importing important people for the day. After, CV-19 surfaced in Hoonah's sewer
water.
Anchorage Daily News last month revealed that 40-30% of coastal AK Native villages
are not allowing themselves to be vaccinated. Because we live in the wild, off the
wild resources, our ancient systems differ from mainstream Americans due to
differing lifestyles. I have only one kidney and am not going to contaminate it in any
way. That is my choice. As long as we all continue safety precautions of every day
living exposure, our infection numbers will continue to drop thanks to our ability to
control conditions from within.
The cruiseline industry can prepare all they want, yet even those inoculatedare

getting CV-19.
Where is our protection when tiny communities as Tlingit-owned Hoonah is the target
for cruiseline visitors.
The notion of "jobs" does not go higher than menial low end seasonal with no benefits
or guarantee for continued hire. We own the land and the tourism business - we
should be managing it, not the cruiseline industry. Local hire is a joke, any riches
going into Hoonah are the ones into the tourism business, mostly immigrants.
Hoonah Tlingit are the poorest / neediest, as evidence of the broken down condition
of the original town site. We have been gutted and good for display only.
There is more at stake than money. We are in the midst of a climate crisis created by
oil-dependent industries that create the global warming of today. Cruise ships are
cities that have no business imposing and encroaching upon small village ports of
ones dependent up a healthy environment to survive. Icy Strait is considered "inside
waters" which means it is not exposed to open seas, that water way is considered
"Hoonah's breadbasket" for all the food it provides us.
Alaskans are not afraid of re-establishing small local economies. It is the newcomers
here to make the fast quick big bucks that are screaming the sky is falling without
cruise ships.
Thank you for hearing me out.
Wanda Culp, Kashudoha

Dear Port of Seattle Staff,
See my written comment for today's regular meeting below. Please summarize as
follows:
"Sea-Tac Airport expansion must be halted in the face of the climate crisis-fueled emergencies
we arecurrently experiencing: unprecedented start to the wildfire season, record-breaking
heatwave and mega-drought in the west. As Sea-Tac accounts for 43% of King County's CO2
emissions when including radiative forcing, we cannot afford to increase flight capacity but
must work toward immediate degrowth."
---------
Dear Port Commissioners,
My name is Sharla Dodd and I am a lifelong resident of Seattle and increasingly concerned
citizen. I was worried when it was 80 degrees on June 1st and all the grass in the city
immediatelyturned to the familiar crispy brown typical of late August summers. We have
already broken 90 degrees and this weekend we are set to inch closer to 100. We are in the
midst of a record-breaking heatwave, mega-drought in the west and an unprecedentedlyearly
start to the wildfire season. Scientists agree that the climate crisis is driving the heatwave
because of increased CO2 in the atmosphere.
In the face of the rapidly changing climate and its likely disastrous outcomes for us as humans,
of which we are already beginning to experience, it is unconscionable to move forward with
business-as-usual. Rather than fueling these emergencies we should instead focus our energy
on mitigation and fight to reduce CO2 emissions effectively and immediately.
The emissions from the burning of fuel pumped at Sea-Tac airport accounts for close to half of
King County's total CO2 emissions (approximately 43%). This is according to King County's
recent CO2 emission inventory but also factors in radiative forcing
(https://kingcounty.gov/services/environment/climate/actions-strategies/strategic-
climate-action-plan/emissions-inventories.aspx). Increasing flight capacity at Sea-Tac at
this time is anathema to the Port's own stated climate goals. As Port Commissioners you have
the authority to stop the planned expansion of Sea-Tac airport and move to make CO2
reduction a priority in all Port activities through a strong commitment to degrowth. This is
imperative if we hope to have a liveable future and it starts with you, our local decisionmakers.
Thank you,
Sharla Dodd

Good afternoon, Port Commissioners.
My name is Tyrell Hedlund and I am also a resident of south Seattle.
As we experience arecord-breaking heat wave, which will cause another record
breaking wildfire season, and according to scientists, this heat wave is fueled by the
climate crisis caused by CO2 released into our atmosphere.
You know this. You also know that emissions from burning fuel pumped at Sea-Tac
airport is a major source of CO2 in our region: according to King County's most recent
CO2 emission inventory,emissions from fuel pumped at Sea-Tac make up about
43% of King County's CO2 emissions.
We are starting another summer of emergency conditions resulting from the climate
crisis, I ask that you consider your role in fueling these now regular emergencies.
Each of us must do everything we can to reduce CO2 emissions if we wish to have a
livable future, this includesyou.As the people with decision making authority over
Sea-Tac, you must take responsibility for these emissions andhaltany expansion of
Sea-Tac airport

WARNING: External email. Links or attachments may be unsafe.

There are many alternative locations on international blvd. There are many existing surface parking lots that are not
readily used and are not built to be dense that are closer and more convenient for employees to use. The Port of
Seattle could buy these lots for cheaper then turn them into muti story parking facilities. there is also land the port
has that is not in use along 28th ave s with abandoned airport buildings that I can confirm are not in use. These could
also be used instead of the North Seatac park for a parking facility.
Please let me know how I can chime in and share the exact locations that could be used as alternatives to avoid this
senseless destruction of a park that is so useful for citizens in Seatac who do not have many alternative parks in the
city and who already suffer from terrible air pollution from the airport as it is.
Thanks,

WARNING: External email. Links or attachments may be unsafe.

With all our justified concern about overuse of the automobile, overaddiction
to burning fossil fuel, and destruction of the environment,
the last thing we should be doing is to take perfectly good forest and
trail land in North SeaTac Park and convert it into yet more parking
places.

If there is some absolutely pressing need for more parking nearby, it
can certainly be done within some existing built-up area. If
necessary, parking can always be vertically stacked in multiple
stories in a purpose-made excavation. The point is: let's not destroy
any more of what's left of our increasing scarce (and stressed!)
reasonably green environment.

WARNING: External email. Links or attachments may be unsafe.
Hello,
My name is Meagan Lass and I live near north SeaTac park, an invaluable area of forested
land that is used in large numbers every single day by our community. I own property at
13406 24th avenue south and use this area almost daily for long walks with my dog. I see
firsthand the positive impact this space has on our community- improved air quality, noise and
pollution reduction, healthy wildlife and plant habitat, recreation facilities for adults and
children alike. A place for people to walk their dogs, to teach their children how to ride their
bikes for the first time, for local sporting events. A place for people to gather, safely, outdoors
with common interests be that biking, remote car racing, nature walks, habitat restoration, and
so much more.
This forested area is the natural heart of this community and removing it for a parking lot
would be a travesty. It is unnecessary and counterproductive to the needs of our neighborhood.
There is a current parking lot for airport employees further south on 24th avenue that can and
should be built upon to expand; that would not require the removal of such a vital natural
resource. It would provide additional parking spaces for employees while having a lesser
impact on the people that live and vote in this neighborhood and the city of SeaTac.
I urge you to so the right thing that is in line with the needs of the community as well as your
mission to maintain projects that do not negatively affect the environment and choose another
location for additional parking. I would also note that taxpayers have already paid for public
transportation that goes directly to the airport and it would behoove the short term and long
term growth plans to incentivize public transportation usage for airport employees.
Please, for the good of our community and environment, don't pave over our forest. Don't pave
over our playgrounds, our animals, our trees and vegetation. Don't pave over our trails. Don't
pave over the heart of this neighborhood.
Thank you,
Meagan Lass

POS Commissioner's Meeting, June 22, 2021, Public Comment by Bernedine Lund, resident of Federal Way
and volunteer for 350 Seattle aviation group 
Request: When doing projections for future flights, infrastructure, etc., please consider how electric planes
will change transportation, including number of runways, parking lots, and roads, etc. See a short summary
of the recent Commercial Aviation Coordinating Commission (CACC) meeting below. The moderator spoke
about what will be needed in 2100 and not just 2050. Each of the speakers talked about a future of point to
point transport and travel rather then the use of large hub airports. See too the Q&A at the end.  Based on
their talks and also the recent PBS Nova program,Great Electric Airplane Race, it seems that electric flight is
coming soon and it will impact many travel activities in the future. 
Commercial Aviation Coordinating Commission (CACC) webinar June 15, 2021, abbreviated notes: 
Speaker 1: Edgar Valdez, UPS explained how UPS began using electric drones in 2019. The UPS flight and
UAS (unmanned aircraft system) and can carry up to 7500 lbs and fly up to 250 nautical miles, giving relief
to hubs with direct point to point flights. The new electrical vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) can lead
to many changes. (See picture of unique landing and take-off area on back of page.) 
Speaker 2: Nathan Trail, Dir State and Local Policy Hyundai Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is focusing on
developing multi-mobile solutions that use UAM. For the Puget Sound region, it would connect urban,
suburban and rural areas separated by water. Infrastructure investment is needed so advocating for publicprivate
funding for development.
Speaker 3 - Roel Ganzarski, CEO magniX, which developed electric engines, currently used in planes made
in Everett. Overall in the US about 50% of flights are less than 500 miles. The electric planes can use the
176 runways currently in the state rather than building new infrastructure, starting use of planes as early as
2 years. Need tax incentives as done in Europe and UK.
Q&A 
Qx: Do we need large new airport?
A: Electric planes could fly to other hubs than Seattle, such as Portland, Salt Lake City, Vancouver BC. 
Qx: End product is zero emissions. What does it take to create the electric energy, etc.? 
A. There are 75% less emissions across the creation of electric energy than other fuel. 
Qx: What advice would you give communities that are interested in electrification? 
A: Set up a collaborative forum for communication to determine how the transportation system would
work. E.g., if airports want electric flights at their airport, bring in large source of electricity, set up to
transport to other areas, etc. 
Qx: What would you recommend to legislators? 
A: Require all flights under certain milage be zero emissions. Need to create policy and industry will meet
the challenge. Note: Alaska rep pointed out that incentives work better than hard lines. 
Qx . In about a year the local committees will need to vote on where to put a new airport to fill the PSRC
projected flight deficit.
A. Determine if 500,000 flights are really needed. For flights over 500 miles, need SAF in interim until
better fuel is available. 
A: Look at Europe: in 2 years pre -Covid, Scandinavia Airline lost 10% ticket sales because current
generation was embarrassed fly on emissions flights. People will make different choices than what they do
now.

Our region is currently facing a record-breaking heat wave that scientists predict will
lead to a "mega drought" and intense wildfire season. This heat wave is being
exacerbated by the climate crisis, which in turn is caused by CO2 emissions in our

Hello Commissioners and all who are in attendance.
My name is Russell Stevenson. I am bringing this topic to your attention once again. I had made public
comment on this matter in early 2019. From the sounds of Mr. Metruck's report, this topic has the Port's
attentionwhich is refreshing to hear.
To review -
My company owns and operates the weekly Bike Race Series within North SeaTac Park(NSP); "Wednesday
Night Worlds". We are now in our 8th season of racing.
These are fun, family-friendly bike events that draw large numbers(over 250 participants weekly) of
devoted cyclists from all around King County. Our presence in the park helps to showcase the wonderful,
naturally preserved park(that is owned by the Port) as a destination for recreation. We, along with other
preservation groups, are the stewards of North SeaTac Park, keeping it's trails and natural resources
accessible. The Mountain Bike community alone volunteers and devotes countless hours(3-400 annually) to
maintain the various public trails along with removing invasive plants to protect the trees. In2019, the Port
granted funds(awarded to the None Profit Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance) from it's own ACE Fund,
allowing continued development of the parks trail network. Today, the condition of NSP has never been
better.
I previously publicly stated to the Port Commission the urgency to reconsider the SAMP proposal to
remove a large portion(55 acres) of the park from public access to be developed into an Airport employee
parking lot. This project,named L-06, is currently still on thenear term SAMP agenda. At the time, I was
thanked by the commission for brining this information forward. I was told that alternatives would be
considered. I believe it was commissioner Gregoire that personally thanked me for the presentation, stating
that you did not know this parcel of land served the community as it does. It was you, commissioner
Calkins, that shared emails with me, stating your commitment to finding alternatives to this proposed
parking lot project.
It's 2021. The proposal is still on the SAMP Agenda, without change.
I am here to today toURGE YOUto remove this proposal from the SAMP, in whichever way you can.
This development will negatively remove not only the Mountain Bike and Hiking Trails, but also damage
our environment and public green space. It's mind blowing to me that this is even considered, considering
how huge environmental preservation has become. The first letter in the SAMP stands for Sustainable.




There could not be a more opposite outcome if this development were to happen.
There is a growing concern(more like outrage), among NSP's user groups(including the Cycling,
Hiker/Walker, Rugby, Botanical Garden, BMX and RC Car groups) around this proposal, so much so that a
petition has been endorsed by well over 1100 king county residents/voters. Several news groups have
picked up on this as well, including Westside Seattle, The Seattle Times and most recently, King 5 News.
This has the potential to be a PR nightmare for the Port. In an election year, I suspect that's not something
any of you want to deal with.
I ask each of you, once again, as elected representatives, that serve the public, to do what is right and make
a commitmentnowto remove this proposalregardless of the FAA's determination.I believe you can do
this by adopting a resolution to remove the L-06 proposal and instead pursue building a parking garage on
theexisting port employee parking lot(which is around 40 acres of existing pavement). I would also ask
the commission to finda permeant solution to protecting NSP form any future development.
NSP is a very special place for so many south King County residence. As urban green spaces continue to
shrink, it's more important than ever to preserve and protect the ones we have. Our residence need
accessible public spaces to recreate in, now more than ever. NSP has already been targeted as the next big
regional MTB destination. There is the potential to develop this space into one of our regions premier
cycling parks. The City of SeaTac is ready to commit to this. Evergreen MTB Alliance(A group the Port has
already funded) is ready to expand the parks trail network. Local preservation groups are committed to
preserving the parks forest and ecosystem. I am asking the Port to make it's own commitment now.
I appreciate it if you could personally get back to me with your decisionbeforeyour next commission
meeting.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide public comment. I'm looking forward to your response.

Date:              Monday, June 21, 2021 7:10:05 PM
Here is a copy of my testimony I plan to speak (as much as time permits):
Good afternoon Commissioners and Port Staff, My name is Jordan Van Voast. I am a 
member of the group Seattle Cruise Control, a parent, and an advocate for those who can't 
be here, including other species of living beings, who have just as much of a right to a 
sustainable ecology (including climate) as human beings.
The heat dome that has smashed temperature records across the western U.S. is about to 
take up residence here in Washington state, with 3 days above 90 degrees predicted next 
week. Scientists have long predicted the effects of our global economy's reliance on the 
burning of fossil fuels, and because their intellectual training does not allow them to engage 
in rationalizing strategies which deny the immediacy of the climate emergency, 
climatologists are increasingly suffering from eco-anxiety disorders.
In the Seattle area, it is common to see people with yard signs that say: "In this home we 
believe in science." But do we really believe in science or are we so wedded to fairy tales of 
economic growth and recovery that we are willing to rationalize the supposed benefits of 
the cruise ship business model, downplaying the climate emissions, air and water pollution, 
marine noise, overtourism, tax evasion, and abusive labor practices, instead of urgently 
strategizing a just transition away from this toxic industry.
With three of you facing challengers in the August 3rd primary election, of course, the voters 
will have their say in which path we choose, though it is my sincere wish that instead of 
prioritizing your own self interest to gain reelection, you will use the privilege and public 
trust of being in a position of leadership to face the reality of the climate emergency and 
start building a truly sustainable future now, before it is too late for our children.
Recently I read a glowing update on the Port website filed under "Countdown to Cruise" 
which highlighted the benefits of the cruise industry to the Huna Tlingit.[i]
As a white person who has benefited from racism and colonialism, it is not my place to 
criticize the sovereign rights of indigenous communities as they make decisions on how to 
generate revenue to meet the very real survival needs of their people. However, I would 
point out that historically, white colonial power structures has frequently employed a 
shameful tactic of dividing native communities by promising benefits to those within the 
tribe who are willing to accept such benefits, negotiating business deals for resources such 
as trees/forests, gas pipeline corridors, docking privileges for cruise ships, etc. This is the 
reality of disaster capitalism which forces indigenous communities and working class 
people everywhere, to participate in a dying economic paradigm because no alternatives




exist. Until there are alternative business opportunities for tribes and real progress on 
reparations (financial and land), how can we expect them to make any other decision but to 
accept a cut of the profits of capitalist enterprises like cruise. Celebrating that as an implied 
endorsement of our world view, our economics, our consumption habits, is only a sign of 
our ignorance of indigenous spirituality which exists even in the collective unconscious of 
white people.

[i] Communities in Alaska also face severe economic hardship without a typical cruise season. For example, 
several vessels that depart from the Port of Seattle stop in Alaska at Icy Strait Point, a privately owned historical 
town and cruise ship destination owned by the Huna Tlingit. All profits derived from Icy Strait Point benefit the 
Huna Tlingit people as well as the community of Hoonah. The local community benefits directly from the dollars 
spent, through employment opportunities with preference for local hire, and entrepreneurship opportunities from 
the establishment of tourism in Hoonah, sales tax, and head tax.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: possible appearance at Port of Seattle Commission meeting tomorrow?
WARNING: External email. Links or attachments may be unsafe.
Good morning,
Here is our written comment for you today.
Pre-COVID, tourism was the state's fourth largest industry, generating more than $21 billion in annual spending. The impact of the pandemic disproportionately
affected tourism, particularly the cruise industry. Seattle is not only a natural gateway for Alaska-bound tourists, but the cruise sub-sector creates natural
stopover and extended stay opportunities for visitors to explore other parts of Washington State. Commerce continues to work with its many tourism partners
to rebuild the sector. We are pleased to see that the Port of Seattle is also interested in safely reopening the cruise industry and support their efforts to bring
tourism back to its pre-pandemic levels.
