SUMMARY:Public comment period for Port of Seattle’s Draft EIS for airport SAMP runs through July 21
DESCRIPTION:The Port of Seattle announced that the public comment period is now underway for the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) Near-Term Projects (NTPs) at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). \nThe 60-day public comment period began May 22\, 2026 and will run through July 21\, 2026 at 4 p.m. PDT \nHere’s more info from the Port: \n\nSEA serves as a gateway for the over 8 million people who live in our state\, and for the 1 million more expected to move to the Puget Sound by 2035. To meet our region’s future needs and support a great traveler experience\, the Port of Seattle proposed a plan to guide future development for the airport. The planned projects will not only make SEA more efficient but will include benefits for people using and working at the airport\, as well as provide transportation improvements in and around the airport. \nThe DEIS is a crucial step under the SEPA process. This process ensures that public agencies assess the environmental impacts of proposed actions and provide opportunities for public input. \nComments should provide sufficient detail for the agency to understand the commenter’s position and why the issues raised are important to the decision-making process. Public comments can be submitted online\, by email\, by regular mail\, or in person at one of the four in-person public meetings taking place in June. The same information will be presented at all meetings in an open house format. Language translation assistance will be available at all public meetings in addition to childcare services. \nWe encourage you to visit the SAMP website to explore details about SAMP\, the proposed NTPs\, the SEPA process\, and how to participate during the public comment period.

SUMMARY:‘Sparky’s Revenge’ returns Sunday\, June 21 for close encounter of the canine kind
DESCRIPTION:One of MIBBB Fest’s most unexpected and beloved events is making its return – Sparky’s Revenge Flying Disc Dog Tournament will take place on Sunday\, June 21 at 11 a.m. at the Des Moines Field House. \nThis free event will bring together more than 20 competitive teams from Summit Disc Dogs for a high-energy\, family-friendly showcase of skill and athleticism. \nOriginally introduced in 2025\, Sparky’s Revenge quickly became a standout moment of the festival\, blending elite canine sport with the uniquely offbeat storytelling that defines MIBBB Fest. \nThe event draws inspiration from a lesser-known detail of the 1947 Maury Island Incident\, in which falling debris from a flying disc allegedly\, and tragically\, killed a dog named Sparky. In true MIBBB fashion\, the story has been reimagined into something a little more… participatory. \n“Now\, nearly eight decades after the flying discs got Sparky\, the dogs get to go after the flying discs\,” said MIBBB Fest co-founder Steve Edmiston. “This event isn’t just family friendly\, it might be the easiest and most Dad-friendly event imaginable for Father’s Day.” \nThe Summit Disc Dogs club was the March Season 2026 World Champion in the K9 Toss & Fetch Worldwide League. The competition features a fast-paced\, bracket-style competition where handlers and their dogs compete in timed\, precise flying disc pitch-and-catch\, combining speed\, coordination\, and gravity-defying catches. The competition is announced live\, teams will compete for two rounds\, and one dog will be crowned the ultimate “Sparky.” \nIn addition to the main competition\, attendees can enjoy a halftime skills exhibition highlighting advanced techniques and freestyle performances from some of the sport’s top teams. \nThe event will host Prison Pet Partnership of Gig Harbor\, the nation’s first prison-based animal program\, with a four-decade legacy of providing second chances with hands-on vocational training\, service-dog development\, supporting community pet needs\, and empowering incarcerated individuals with professional skills\, purpose\, and hope. Des Moines vendor Tails and No Tails will provide a curated selection of pet (and pet-people) merchandise. \nFree and open to the public\, Sparky’s Revenge offers a playful entry point into the MIBBB festival experience\, welcoming families\, dog lovers\, and curious spectators alike. Attendees are encouraged to bring folding chairs or may sit on the grass hillside east of the fields. \nAs part of the broader MIBBB Fest weekend\, the event reflects the festival’s signature blend of historical inspiration\, community engagement\, and not taking itself too seriously\, while still delivering something genuinely impressive. \nEvent Details\n\nWhat: Sparky’s Revenge Flying Disc Dog Tournament\nWhen: Sunday\, June 21\, 2026 at 11 a.m.\nWhere: Des Moines Field House (map below)\nCost: FREE!\n\nAbout MIBBB Fest\nMIBBB Fest is an annual festival in Des Moines\, Washington\, inspired by the 1947 Maury Island Incident and the cultural legacy of Men in Black lore. Blending history\, humor\, and community\, the festival attracts visitors from across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. \nMore Info\n\nVisit the MIBBB Fest website\nFollow MIBBB on Facebook\nFollow MIBBB on Instagram\n\nVideo
