Hi Port team,

Please sign me up for testimony at the meeting tomorrow.

My name is Ian McCluskey. I'm a small business owner, born and raised in Seattle. I now sit on the

Snohomish County Climate Action Advisory Committee, and volunteer with a number of organizations in

our area to support communities affected by environmental degradation.

On that Advisory Committee, we are learning from King County's Strategic Climate Action Plan, which

matches the Port's stated priorities to "support comprehensive proposals for sector-specific and

economy-wide solutions to address the climate crisis with legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

and other harmful toxic pollutants while providing flexibility to respond to changing market conditions and

technological advances."

The Port also states its intent to reduce noise and ultrafine particle exposures.

That said, your other goal to increase air travel into and out of Seattle is entirely incompatible.

There is no legal nor moral grounds for your general assumption that airports like SeaTac must

accommodate the FAA's increasing flight predictions. In fact, based on the recent airport expansion

rejections in the UK, I expect that assumption will reverse quickly this decade. Will you be leaders in

adaptation, or will you squander political and financial resources on outdated thought processes about

infinite growth?

Thank you,

Ian
