Resolution No.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, THANKING TUKWILA CITIZENS FOR THEIR
SUCCESSFUL EFFORTS IN PREVENTING THE RELOCATION OF
COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS FROM SEATILE-TACOMA INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT TO BOEING FIELD AIRPORT.
WHEREAS, in June 2005 Southwest Airlines first approached King County
regarding moving their commercial airline service to Boeing Field, and later both
Horizon Air and Alaska Airlines also asked to move their service from Sea-Tac Airport
to Boeing Field, and
WHEREAS, negative impacts to Tukwila residents and businesses -- such as
increased noise from commercial air traffic at Boeing Field -- could result in the
devaluation of real estate for businesses and homes alike; and
WHEREAS, when Southwest's plan was announced, Tukwila citizens immediately
began working to stop the airline's relocation from Sea-Tac Airport to Boeing Field, and
WHEREAS, the number of involved citizens eventually grew from just a handful to
hundreds, from Tukwila to North Seattle; and
WHEREAS, those citizens did not rely solely on government or other agencies to
stop the move, but took steps on their own to get the job done, in a very democratic,
grass-roots manner that was ultimately successful,
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
The City of Tukwila expresses its gratitude and offers a heartfelt "Thank you" to all
the citizens involved in the effort to stop Southwest Airlines' move to Boeing Field.
PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON,
at a Regular Meeting thereof this day of , 2005
