Several seaplane companies use Lake Union in Seattle to deliver passengers only a mile from the city’s business and technology core. FOX13
However, there is controversy growing over a string of buoys placed near the southern shore. The buoys are intended to alert visitors of incoming or outgoing aircraft, but some worry the message they send unfairly pushes out others on the water.
Seaplanes have played a significant role in Seattle’s history. The city’s growth will likely propel the industry to grow as well. Kenmore Air has been operating on the lake for decades. Today it is one of three airliners operating from Lake Union. Erickson lives along the lake’s shore and he shouts aloud his allegiance to Save Lake Union, a campaign by Seaplanes Environmental Coalition that claims the buoys intended to warn people of incoming aircraft might instead leave an impression that a strip of water is exclusive for seaplanes.For more than 70 years, seaplanes have used this lake to shuttle passengers.
DuComb is an attorney representing the coalition, which at the end of August sent a letter to Seattle officials claiming the buoys do not comply with its permit and asking regulators to make the permit holder issue corrections.
