Airplane noise meeting in Magnolia tonight

Over the last few days, there have been a couple incidents of loud airplanes over the greater Ballard area that “sounded like it might come right into the living room,” wrote one My Ballard reader earlier this week. Turns out, this is quite the issue in our neighborhood to the south, where our sister site Magnolia Voice has been awash in comments complaining about an apparent rise in airplane noise. And tonight (Thursday), the Magnolia Community Club is hosting a public meeting with representatives from the Port of Seattle, Boeing Field and Alaska Airlines. It’s at 7 p.m. in the Catherine Blaine School Cafeteria at 2550 34th Avenue West, next to Magnolia Community Center.
