We second the thanks for bringing this to attention. We live in Cedarhurst and have definitely noticed more noise since the day the 3rd runway opened. The Port's 3rd Runway FAQ on their Web site says the 3rd runway will only be used in bad weather - what a bunch of BS. The weather since it opened has not been that bad. We also think people should be made aware of the following issue, quoted from a Nov. 20 Tacoma News Tribune article: "The new runway will be the airport’s third for only a few months before a maintenance project closes down Sea-Tac’s longest runway, 16 Left. That runway, parts of which were built in 1947 when the airport opened, will be closed from April through September for a complete rebuilding." http://www.thenewstribune.com/front/topphoto/stor...A couple years ago we contacted the Port to see if we could get some financial assistance in replacing our 1940's era, single-pane windows. They told us we were a block and a half west of their boundary for home insulation. So I guess we are just screwed. Thanks for the forum to vent!!!
