“Members of the Puyallup Tribe described it as an historic day, when a newly-painted seaplane from Kenmore Air touched down on Commencement Bay, with a distinctive red, black and white livery featuring tribal art depicting a salmon on the aircraft’s tail.
“The new seaplane flights start taking off Friday from the new Puyallup Tribal Air Terminal on Ruston Way in Tacoma, Washington. It’s a partnership with Kenmore Air, a regional airline based north of Seattle that specializes in scenic and destination seaplane flights.” Read the rest of the story at the KNKX website.

Air tours can be a real nightmare for those who live under the routes. I’ve experienced them flying over my house when I lived in Las Vegas. The air tours would even interrupt outdoor concerts.
I hope they stay well away from Pt Defiance – airplane noise is not what I want to hear when I’m in the woods.
I wonder if the tribe can somehow mitigate the air pollution and noise pollution from the flights.
I’ve taken the seaplane tour over Vancouver, Canada.
Worth it.
