What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Sequim Valley Airport (KW28), a privately owned, public-use general aviation airport, is highly regarded by pilots, particularly for its favorable flying conditions. Traveler sentiment is generally positive among the aviation community, emphasizing its appeal as a destination for recreational and business pilots, as well as aviation retirees.

What Travelers Love

Excellent Flying Weather: Situated in the "rain shadow" of the Olympic Mountains, the airport is known as the "Blue Hole" of the Pacific Northwest, offering abundant visual flight rules (VFR) conditions most of the year.
Pilot-Friendly Services: The airport provides 24-hour self-service 100LL Avgas and offers tie-downs for transient aircraft. As of November 1, 2024, there are no landing fees for non-commercial aircraft.
Onsite FBO and Aviation Services: Dungeness Aircraft Service acts as the Fixed Base Operator (FBO), providing aircraft maintenance, flight instruction, and aircraft rental.
Convenient Amenities and Location: Loaner cars and bikes are available for pilots. The airport connects directly to the Olympic Discovery Trail, placing restaurants and parks just 1.5 miles away.
Scenic Environment: Pilots appreciate the spectacular views and natural beauty of the Olympic Peninsula.

Common Complaints

Obstructions on Approach: Pilots have noted tall trees, unlit, south and on the right side of the final approach for Runway 27.
Runway Shoulder Dropoff: The Runway 09/27 has a reported 2-inch shoulder dropoff.
Limited Traditional Traveler Facilities: As a general aviation airport, it lacks commercial terminal facilities, dedicated security checkpoints, or customs and immigration services typically found at larger commercial airports.
Limited On-Site Lodging: While "tiny house" Airbnb rentals were successful, they are currently unavailable, though there's potential for their return in late 2025.

Sequim Valley Airport serves as an appealing and well-equipped hub for general aviation, celebrated for its favorable flying conditions and essential pilot services. However, traditional commercial travelers seeking typical airport amenities, security, or customs processing will not find these at this facility.
