lights seen at night

I live in Renton, WA and On the night of 10/1/08 at around 8:45PM I obseverved what appeared to be 3 bright stars close to the horizon outside of a SW window. The stars seemed very bright and a soft yellow color. After visually inspecting the stars for a few minutes a fourth star appeared. I do live near Sea-Tac and Renton Municipal airport and considered if these were oncoming planes but the objects didn't seem to move for more than five minutes.

Considering my suspicion I fetched some binoculars. When I came back one of the objects had started to move in a northern direction and it had turned on a red and green light which one appeared on each side of the bright yellow light. After a few minutes another object turned on the same type of light and took off in the same general direction. And this repeated until all of the objects were gone.
