What We Can Do
We can show up, speak out, and write to all our Thurston County elected officials. The city, county, and the Port. Write letters to the editor, post on Facebook and NextDoor. Get the word out to friends and neighbors. Tell them we want the Port of Olympia to:
Stop plans that allow or encourage increased operations at the Olympia Airport.
Control the hours of operation and concentration of impacts over neighborhoods and Parks.
Return to local control over the airport.
Make neighborhoods impacted by the airport equal stakeholders with the aviation interests.
Seek alternatives for more sustainable transportation, such as rail.
Quit using our tax dollars to subsidize aviation interests.
Care about future generations.
