Please check NOTAM's, TFR's and watch for helicopter activity. <br />Contact the State Airport Manager for additional information at wolfp@wsdot.wa.gov or 360-618-2477 <br />Description <br />Easton airport was constructed in the 1930's by the federal government as an emergency field for DC -3s crossing the Cascades <br />through Snoqualmie Pass. It was acquired by the state in 1958 to preserve it for future use. Easton remains as an important airport <br />on the eastern approaches to Snoqualmie and Stampede Pass. Perhaps one of our most visited airports, It has the ingredients to <br />make it a one -of -a -kind airport. This field has medium intensity lighting coupled with ample room for parking, camping, hiking, and <br />just relaxing in the quiet of nature. There is a stream at the east end of the airport which runs as clear as any you have seen. A small <br />store is approximately one mile south on the access road. <br />The runway is 2,640 feet of turf, with a 300 foot displaces threshold on the west end. Field elevation is 2221 feet, and density <br />altitude problems can be encountered in the summer. Trees surround the airport and there are trees in both approaches close in. <br />Deer, elk, and motorcyclists also enjoy the airport. The surface is somewhat rough, and will be soft when wet. We recommend an <br />overflight to check field conditions and obstructions. The airport is generally open from June 1st to October 1st. <br />The airport is visited by approximately 30 aircraft per month. It is an excellent facility for mountain flying / soft field practice. Glider <br />and flying clubs frequently use the field during the summer. <br />Available +nformation for Easton State Airport <br />• Airport Reference Guide page (pdf 128 kb) <br />• Airport Facilities and Services Information Report <br />• Pavement Management Database (not applicable) <br />• 2001 Airport Economic Profile (not available) <br />e 2012 Airport Economic Profile (pdf 357 kb) <br />a Web camera <br />• Learn more about the Adopt an Airport volunteer program. <br />Back to State Map <br />Back to South Central Region Map <br />WSDOT-Managed Airports Map <br />Copyright WSDOT @ 2017 <br />I of 1 <br />8/8/17, 11:16 PN <br />
