The League of Quiet Skies Voters has announced that 30th District Washington State Rep. Mike Pellicciotti, D-Federal Way, will address new Washington laws regarding aviation expansion at the League’s April 25, 2019, Town Hall.  

“Rep. Pellicciotti, along with 33rd District Senator Karen Keiser and 33rd District Representative Tina Orwall, has provided strong and proactive leadership on addressing aviation expansion issues faced by the South King County Airport neighbor communities,” said Quiet Skies Puget Sound founder Sheila Brush. “This legislative session has been a roller coaster of substantial progress, including new legislation to form the commission to finally site a new primary commercial airport. The timing couldn’t be better for a hot-off-the-presses update from Olympia,” said Brush.

Rep. Pellicciotti completes the League’s Town Hall program lineup, joining speaker Congressman Adam Smith (sponsor of the Aviation Impacted Communities Act), speaker Chris McCann (creator of the Airnoise.io service for registering aircraft complaints), a Special Report on the World Health Organization’s 2018 Environmental Noise Guidelines, and an “Aviation Noise and Emission 101” presented by Steve Edmiston, attorney, filmmaker, and creator of The Briefing Project. A panel discussion will follow.
