I used to live there. It would take four decades and eleventy trillion dollars to get that project off the ground in the PNW. Forget it. I love that place too, but big transportation projects or the lack thereof are keeping it from being a really nice place to live and work.

Nope. Still nada at Mid-America. They used to have 1 or 2 flights a day, but they couldn't fill the seats, so the routes dried up. They also used to have one flight a day for flowers, but that has dried up too. The only regular business I have seen do anything out of Mid-America over the past year or two is Boeing F-18 traffic for TCTO upgrades.

Or use Vashon Island. It is perfectly situated to be an airport for both sides of the sound. :D
