I get that nobody local wants an expanded airport. Problem is you move to an area where an airport exists, well you are going to hear noise and it's not going to get better unless some government official decides the airport isn't needed or useful and decided to close it. Don't see that happening here.
Curious as to why they need to expand ?, are they hoping some major airline (Southwest, Alaska) is going to add the place to a flight schedule ?. More commercial ?, maybe ANG ?.
Wait - are you suggesting that STOPTHEAIRPORT.COM isn't providing accurate and unbiased information that allows people to evaluate the proposal and have an informed opinion about the pros and cons?
Did you try the
NO TO A COMMERCIAL AIRPORT IN EAST OLYMPIA group on NextDoor? They've probably got more accurate and unbiased info there.
