Building History
Propeller Airports, a company with offices in Seattle, WA, New York, NY, and Atlanta, GA, specializing in privatizing public airports, organized the process to build Paine Field-Snohomish County Airport's new passenger terminal in Everett, WA. This new $40 million terminal was used initially by rapidly expanding Alaska Airlines, which offered 18 non-stop flights from Everett to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orange County, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco and San Jose per day. These flights were scheduled to begin in 03/04/2019. (See "Expanding Horizons," Alaska Beyond, vol. 43, no. 3, 03/2019, p. 23.)
Denver-based Fentress Architects designed the new Paine Field terminal, working with Clive Lonstein, Incorporated, interior architects, and the Fisher Construction Group, general contractor. Fentress became a leader in the architectural design of airports in the 1980s.
Snohomish County's web site outlined the proposed elements of the new terminal and its surroundings: "The proposal would construct a new terminal between the existing terminal building and the control tower. The building would comply with FAA guidelines and local health and safety codes. The proposed terminal building would total approx 29,300 sf of interior space. The main components of the building would include the entrance and check-in, TSA security screening, passenger waiting, boarding area, concessions, baggage handling and claim."
