I don't know whether Paine Field is under utilized or not, but I do recall that the community raised quite a fuss when commercial passenger flights were proposed a few years ago. I seem to recall what when it was approved there were limitations. Cargo operations expanded recently when FedEx took over Boeing's DreamLifter operations center which got moved to South Carolina.

I'd be very surprised if any new airports are built in this region in the next 25 years. I know that the forecasts are for increased passenger growth, but I think that climate change will impact people's travel habits and they will travel by air much less than currently.
