Community outreach
King County International Airport-Boeing Field (KCIA) is a part of multiple vibrant communities surrounding the airport, including neighborhoods like Georgetown, Beacon Hill, South Park, and Allentown, as well as culturally and economically diverse communities.
As such a large part of these neighborhoods, we are looking to include community members in the planning and design of projects at the airport. Opportunities will be listed below as they are available. You can also contact us at KCIACommunityOutreach@kingcounty.gov. To be informed of future projects that will have community working groups, sign up here.
