Paine Field development plan envisions an expanded terminal
EVERETT — Snohomish County has released drawings of a larger passenger terminal at Paine Field, providing a window into how a long-term development playbook for the Everett airport is taking shape.
The illustrations, posted online last week, show two potential layouts for a westward expansion of the existing terminal, including more gates and hundreds more passenger parking spots.
The rough designs are a sampling of the possibilities under consideration as county officials weigh how much space to set aside in the case that the terminal’s private operator pursues an expansion in the next few decades. The layouts were devised as part of a formulaic “master plan” process, according to the county, to evaluate how much space might be needed for various types of development at the airport between now and 2040.
For two years now, county and airport leaders have been studying how to divvy Paine Field’s limited real estate among its many users, from general aviation pilots to aerospace manufacturers.
