In July 2000 the Port Commissioners officially requested the FAA to conduct a study of the feasibility of routing more northward-departing Sea-Tac jets out the Duwamish corridor (i.e. west turn) rather than over Leschi/Madrona/Medina (i.e. east turn). The FAA report came out in December 2000. To obtain a copy of the report, contact Mike Merritt at the Port of Seattle: 206-728-3302.

Here is one person's review of the FAA report:
