| Primary Exempt Purpose | 2021 Form 990-EZ Part III "Organization's Primary Purpose" -- To reverse the US Navy's expansion of EA18-G "Growler" training on Whidbey Island, WA. To bring together several local organizations engaged in reducing noise in the region to build a base and impart information on the harms to the people, environment and economy of military jet operations over civilian and fragile environmental areas. To work with our legislators to require the Navy to monitor jet noise and to seek other locations to locate these military assets. | PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt |

| NDAA Navy noise monitoring completed - through our efforts from 2019 through 2021 the US Navy was required by Congress to conduct actual jet noise monitoring in the affected areas of NW Washington. This monitoring showed how severe a problem jet noise is and thereby helped thousands of civilians. | $0 | $1,060 |
| SDA Sound Monitoring program - In conjunction with the Navy Sound monitoring (Line 28), SDA volunteers continued to analyze jet noise data from SDA and other studies. By making information about the severity of the military jet noise problem in NW Washington public we have helped thousands of affected civilians. Although expenses are showing as zero, in 2021 there was actually a net refund of $1,497 in this program due to a refund of a pre-paid expense in 2020. | $0 | $0 |
| SDA Educational program - In 2021 we continued, despite the difficulties of COVID-19, to hold public (Zoom) meetings, send out bi-monthly newsletters, post on Facebook & Instagram, and to help regional groups organize to understand the severity of military jet noise and environmental pollution in NW Washington State. | $0 | $31,176 |
| SDA Road Map program - We continued to develop and refine our proposed EA18-G "Growler" drawdown and replacement plan ("The SDA Roadmap"). This plan presents the US Navy with a reasonable and achievable means of permanently solving the worst of military jet noise in NW Washington's civilian populated areas and the Olympic National Forest, thereby helping the public in general. | $0 | $20,990 |
