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:Enjoy a free Public Art Walk-n-Talk on Sunday\, July 5
DESCRIPTION:From our friends at WABI Burien: \n\n\n“I had a pleasant time on this walk and discovered art in Burien that I hadn’t known about since living in the area beginning in 1992. Where are we heading on the next walk?” \n– Rick\nFrequent Walk-n-Talker \n\nNow into summer\, we will enjoy the 14th Annual Burien Public Art Walk-n-Talk this Sunday\, July 5. \nThis month’s walk is a great way to discover some of the 65 pieces of Public Art that Burien has scattered throughout the City. We have sculptures\, murals\, decorated signal boxes\, architectural and park details that are the result of artists’ collaborations with the City and other organizations. We’ll focus on the art in the City core as we stroll the streets and alleys. \nDate: Sunday\, July 5\, 2026 \nTime: Meet-up at 2:00. Walking starts at 2:15 p.m. \nWho: Walkers of every level and ability (dogs and cats are welcome\, too.) \nPlace: Meet out in front of the Wells Fargo Bank\, at the corner of Ambaum Blvd. SW and SW 152nd. Street (map below). \nWalking Route: We will start at “Gordon\, Dixie and Clem”\, and walk through town from there\, including through the “Art Alley” between SW 152nd and 153rd Streets\, from 6th Ave. to 4th Ave. We’ll also add the art spaces at The Maverick Apartmentsand Merrill Gardens\, which are curated in partnership with the City of Burien. Distance: About 1.75 miles\, round trip\, mostly flat with sidewalks. \n\n“Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees. \n– Marcel Proust\nFrench novelist\, Critic\, and Essayist \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Look at Public Art: A Six-Year-Old Explains\n(KQED Art School) \nBurien Public Art Web Site\nThe City of Burien has completed a web site where you can view photos\, maps\, descriptions and the artist’s name for each piece of public art. Click HERE to explore the Burien Public Art web site. \nWhat is Public Art in Burien?\nIt stands tall on a pedestal at your side\, adds pattern and color to a painted wall and is embedded in the floor at your feet. Art is creative expression made visible through metal\, glass\, paint\, paper\, concrete… any material available to the artist. Explore this community in a different way. Art is everywhere… sculptures\, murals\, carvings… but also artist-designed floors\, windows\, water features and more. Think about what “ART” means to you as you wander through Burien. Do you see pattern in a stack of tires\, or texture in the natural landscape? How is your life enriched by the art around you? \nAccording to Americans for the Arts: American cities and towns aspire to be places where people want to live and want to visit. Having a particular community identity\, especially in terms of what our towns look like\, is becoming even more important in a world where every place tends to look like everyplace else. Places with strong public art expressions break the trend of blandness and sameness\, and give communities a stronger sense of place and identity. \nThe people responsible for planning public art projects are the Burien Arts Commission\, a volunteer board of nine Burien residents who are appointed by the City Council. The Arts Commission is responsible for developing public art projects\, for recommending funding allocations of the yearly Arts and Culture Grants and supporting the arts in other areas of the city such as events and residency program in the schools. In 2020\, the arts commission and city staff started a project to develop a long-term Public Art Plan. This five to ten-year plan will help guide how the public art funding is used\, what type of art will be installed in Burien\, and where the art will be installed. You are also encouraged to explore existing permanent public artworks\, installed throughout Burien\, as well as rotating exhibits in the storefront galleries in Burien’s downtown. Use the City of Burien’s new public art map to plan your next creative walking tour! \n\nArt & Photo Credits:\nCity of Burien • www.burienwa.gov\n4Culture • www.4culture.org\n*Select Art from the King County Public Art Collection\, King County\, Washington\nKing County Library System • www.kcls.org\nMaureen Hoffmann\, Photos • www.redredcircle.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor further information\, please contact Maureen Hoffmann\, WABI Burien President: info@wabiburien.org.
