Passenger service at Paine Field would be an important asset to Snohomish County. The ability to get to an airport quicker will save on roads, time and auto fuel.

Wherever we live, we encounter change. No one likes it but when it comes they adjust. The property values in Mukilteo could even rise — some people put a high value on being close to an airport, especially a smaller one. I think that possibly some of our elected officials are giving opinions based on fear of Mukilteo voters, rather than the good of all citizens. I have never heard this many politicians oppose anything business related. It’s surprising to me.
