Is Your State Airport Open?

WSDOT Aviation operates 16 airports, offering a gateway to the beautiful backcountry of Washington State. Of these airports, WSDOT owns seven, leases one, and operates the remaining eight under conditional use permits.

The airfields, located primarily in regions that experience extreme climatic conditions, provide strategic landing or staging sites for emergency medical air response, transport, evacuation points and fire fighting.

However, in addition to being emergency airfields, the state airports also serve as great spots for pilots to fish, camp, hike, etc. Listed below are some of the recreational services available at your state airports.
