17 FOD Walk Sea-Tac

18 Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Walk Sea-Tac Airport workers volunteer for annual FOD Walk that's as much about showing employees how much junk ends up near runways as it is about cleaning up the debris. About 90 people showed up for this summer s FOD Walk. "Industry-wide, this is an over $5 billion issue," says Mark Coates, senior manager of airport operations. The FOD Walk sticks with the grass on either side of the airport's first runway, which is closest to the terminal and, therefore, gets most of the FOD. It's also Sea-Tac's longest runway, at 11,900 feet.
