Paine Field operates as a public airport in conformance with applicable federal and state laws and deed and grant restrictions. Snohomish County has guided the development and operation of Paine Field with a role adopted by County Commissioners in 1978 and modified in 1979 by adoption of recommendations from a mediation panel. The combination of these two actions is referred to as the 1978/79 Mediated Role Determination or simply the Mediated Role Determination (MRD).
  • A brief two-page summary of the MRD is available here*.
  • A complete copy of the Role, Mediation Panel recommendations and associated reference documents is available here*. (Note: This file is 1.6mb)

County Executive Aaron Reardon asked Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson and former Mukilteo Mayor Don Doran to co-chair a committee to review the Mediated Role Determination.
