subsidize scheduled air passenger service. This is according to County
Executive Reardon's panel convened two years ago. This same group is
cited in news reports as concluding that the county cannot prohibit
commercial flights. However, more importantly, the panel also stated
that the county can and should require an airline to pay its own way
and mitigate its impacts.
Everett's recently commissioned study had other interesting findings
which are also quoted less frequently: that the noise and property
value "concerns are real and should be addressed."

Allegiant, Horizon.... If one is in, they are all in. Early or late,
flights could not be restricted with curfews.
Is that the vision for a vibrant south Snohomish County?
Mukilteo doesn't think so. Neither does Edmonds. Or Lynnwood. Or
Mountlake Terrace, Brier or Woodway. Or the majority of your County
Council.
Let's not lay out the welcome mat. We can create real economic
development and a positive vision for our communities.
