About Us
We are residents, youth, elders, grassroots leaders, and partner organizations from the neighborhoods most impacted by airport operations: SeaTac, Burien, Des Moines, Renton, Auburn, Beacon Hill, Georgetown, South Park, and the Duwamish Valley.
For years, our communities living near airports have carried the burden of noise, air pollution, traffic, and health disparities without a voice in the decisions impacting our daily lives.
We formed this coalition to name the harms, build community power, and demand that public agencies answer to the people living with the consequences.
Coalition Members
This work is rooted in relationships with local organizations and leaders advancing justice in airport-impacted communities.

King County International Airport Community Coalition
King County International Airport Community Coalition (KCIACC) works for health, climate and environmental justice to preserve the history and uplift the long-standing impacted communities in Allentown-Tukwila, South Park, Georgetown, Beacon Hill and Duwamish Valley Neighborhoods from aviation and environmental racism.
Programming & community Engagement partners
Youth and elder-serving groups, immigrant and refugee organizations, environmental health advocates, public health partners, and neighborhood leaders who might not seem like obvious allies, but airport harms connect us all—and our shared interest in protecting our communities drives the outreach, research, education, and campaigns we build together.
Thank you for Joining the Movement!
