information from the City of SeaTac

In 2018, the Washington State Legislature committed funds to conduct a study of the current impacts and benefits of the Sea-Tac International Airport on the surrounding communities. The Department of Commerce has been assigned responsibility to conduct this Study. Further, Commerce is to work in consultation with the cities of Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Normandy Park, SeaTac and Tukwila, Port of Seattle and surrounding communities on this Study. Commerce is requesting each City select a public representative for the SSAC.

Appointed SSAC participants will be able to share information, discuss community concerns and provide input on developing the “statement of work” to be included in the Study of current impacts and benefits.

The White Center Community Development Association WCCDA Fundraising Gala theme is “Celebrating All Voices”  honoring the power of community and strength of White Center. The event will be at the venue WithinSodo, in Sodo district on Sept 28 from 6 to 9pm

W. Tali Hairston, Equitable Development Principal – Owner will keynote the event. As a native of Seattle, he will share his personal experiences regarding how communities of color continue to be silenced and how this process continues to perpetuate racism in all its forms.
