Community Engagement Opportunities

Pardon Our Mess

Our website is being updated, and some elements may not work as expected. If you have trouble finding the information you need, please contact us at KCIAMedia@kingcounty.gov

King County International Airport-Boeing Field (KCIA) is a part of multiple vibrant communities surrounding the airport including neighborhoods like Georgetown, Beacon Hill, South Park, and Allentown, as well as culturally and economically diverse communities.

As such a large part of these neighborhoods, we are looking to include community members in the planning and design of projects at the airport. Learn more about these opportunities below. You can also contact us at KCIACommunityOutreach@kingcounty.gov. To be informed of future projects that will have community working groups, sign up here.

Current opportunities

air-monitor

KCIA is developing an air monitoring plan and installing upgraded noise monitoring equipment, with input from the community on siting of the monitors. Read the Air Monitoring project summary and the Noise Monitoring project summary for more information on this project.

You can read the Phase 1 group charter here.

The airport developed a survey to gather community input from a wider audience for consideration in development of conceptual plans and design elements for Step 2 of the air monitoring plan and the airport landscape plan. The survey closed on May 27. Here are results of the survey.

Community Workshop

The airport hosted a community workshop on May 17, 2022 to discuss the air monitoring and landscape plan projects. Please see below for details.

Fuel Farm Relocation Project

We want your thoughts on how we should choose a location to relocate the airport fuel farm, a group of tanks that store fuel for aircraft that fly in and out of the airport. Thank you to everyone who attended the meeting last fall or our Fuel Farm Relocation Project Information Meeting on January 18, 2023.

Learn more and give us your thoughts:

Vision 2045

Starting this spring and summer, King County International Airport (KCIA) will be working with the community on Vision 2045 (FAA Master Plan), a long-range plan that will help us become a world-class airport. The completed plan will include a noise study and will tell us which construction projects, infrastructure, and other updates to prioritize and fund in the coming decades. If you would like to be included in this project, please let us know by filling out this form or emailing us at KCIACommunityOutreach@kingcounty.gov.
