Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Early 2000s. The airport was depicted on the 1999 Seattle Sectional Chart but was no longer shown on the 2004 edition, indicating it was officially closed sometime between those years.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason is not publicly documented, a common situation for small, privately owned airfields. Closure was most likely due to the owner's personal decision, potentially related to the sale of the property, retirement from flying, prohibitive insurance/maintenance costs, or increasing residential development in the surrounding area. There is no evidence of military conversion or a major accident leading to the closure.

Current Status

The site is currently a private residential estate. The distinct outline of the former grass runway is still clearly visible on satellite imagery as a large, well-manicured lawn or open field. The property contains a large primary residence and several outbuildings, some of which may be repurposed hangars. The land is no longer used for any aviation activities.

Historical Significance

B & M Ranch Airport was a private-use airfield that served its owner(s) for general aviation purposes. First appearing on aeronautical charts by at least 1981, it featured a single unpaved turf runway, listed as 2,200 feet long. Operations would have consisted of small, single-engine aircraft (such as Cessnas or Pipers) used for recreational flying and personal transportation. Its significance was purely local, providing private air access for the property's residents and their guests.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. As the land is an established private residence and has been closed to aviation for approximately two decades, reopening is considered extremely unlikely. It would require significant effort and expense from the current landowner to meet modern aviation standards and regulations, with no apparent public or private demand for its reactivation.
