There are a lot of lost, abandoned and closed airports out there in the state of Washington. There's also a bunch of airports that are clearly still in use but are just not on the charts. A lot more than most people would imagine.

I've been hunting lost and uncharted airports for a while, and have discovered more than 200 300 across the state that have been closed or abandoned over the years, some of them well known, others all but forgotten. Some of these airports have been completely gone for many years, others are still there either in part or entirely.

It's pretty sobering to see how many airfields we've lost - and it makes me want to help ensure we don't lose any more out of those that remain. I'm charting all of them here on this website, along with a little information about each. Please note that this is a work in progress.

I welcome input from anyone who can provide addtional details about any of these lost strips, so if you know of any additional fields that I've missed, if you can provide any additional details on one that's listed, or if you have a correction to the information I've posted, please let me know via email. You can reach me at lostairports (at) pacificnorthwestflying (dot) com.
