Preparations begin on FAA-required demolition for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport

(CAPA) Preparations are beginning for the required demolition of six of 21 buildings in the Lora Lake Apartment complex in Burien. These units are located within the Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) of the third runway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, which the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires to be free of all structures.

The demolition is expected to take two to three weeks. The 15 Lora Lake Apartment buildings located outside of the RPZ will not be affected by the demolition.
