Pierce County officials object to 2 potential airport locations One of the proposed sites is near Eatonville By Spencer Pauley The Center Square
Pierce County officials sent a joint letter to the Commercial Aviation Coordinating Commission chair objecting to two greenfield spaces as a potential airport location. The commission was considering two potential locations — one in central Pierce County, near Eatonville, and one in east Pierce County. Officials object to these locations because they deem the sites to have “significant infrastructure and environmental barriers,” per the joint letter. The CACC recommended three sites for a new commercial airport in
Washington state because Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is on track to exceed its capacity by 2050. From a list of 10 greenfield spaces made by the commission, the three recommended sites include the two in Pierce County opposed by county officials and one in Thurston County in east Olympia. The commission, which stems from the Washington State Department of Transportation, consists of 15 members. The commission voted 12-0, with one abstention, for the three locations as part of a plan that also includes looking into AIRPORT Page 4Æ
Cruisers’ loss changes postseason possibilities By Skip Smith
Contributing writer
With it being a little more than halfway through the 2022 high school football season, the Southwest Washington District 4 playoffs are starting to take shape. And, as difficult as it was for Cruisers fans to swallow the Eatonville loss against Montesano, there is potentially more difficult news on the horizon. With the loss to the Bulldogs on Oct. 7, Eatonville is no longer in contention to claim the Evergreen Conference title for a second straight year or secure a No. 1 seed into the district playoffs. The best finish the team can achieve is second place in the league and a No. 2 seed in the playoffs.
Eatonville will need to accomplish a few things for that to happen, however. First, the Cruisers will need to win their remaining league games against Elma and Hoquiam. If they can do that, they will also need Montesano to defeat the Tenino Beavers when the two teams meet Friday. A win by Tenino in that game would result in a three-way tie with Eatonville and Montesano (this scenario assumes all three teams win their remaining conference games). A three-way tie would require a tie-breaker to determine a league champion. The Evergreen Conference tie-breaker FOOTBALL Page 4Æ
