How much is the cost of the third runway up to so far? its like billions isnt it? They are willing to spend all that for a runway at seatac but they cant spend anything to use Boeing field. That area around boeing field is a getto and could use the benifits of an airline in there, but all these corrupt SOBs in office at looking out for thier owners. The county doesnt want any airlines anywhere but in seatac. That way they have a monopoly and charge whatever they want.
