Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately mid-1990s. The airport was depicted on the 1987 Seattle Sectional Chart but was no longer shown on the 1998 chart. Satellite imagery from 1995 still shows a clear runway, while imagery from the early 2000s shows the land converted to agriculture, confirming a closure within this timeframe.

Reason for Closure

The airport was a private airstrip serving Grigg Farm. Its closure was most likely for economic or operational reasons related to the farm. As agricultural practices evolved or the farm's needs changed, the private airstrip may have become obsolete or uneconomical to maintain. The land was subsequently repurposed for its primary agricultural value, a common fate for private farm strips.

Current Status

The site of the former airport has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. High-resolution satellite imagery of the coordinates (47.173504, -119.747002) shows that the area where the runway once existed is now covered with rows of cultivated crops, likely an orchard or vineyard, seamlessly integrated with the surrounding farmland. There are no remaining visible traces of the runway, hangars, or any other aviation-related infrastructure.

Historical Significance

Grigg Farm Airport was a private-use airfield serving the extensive agricultural operations of the Grigg family farm in Quincy, a major agricultural hub in Washington. Its primary role was likely to support aerial application (crop dusting) and to provide convenient, private air transport for the farm's owners and operators. The airport appeared on aeronautical charts for several decades, from at least the 1960s through the 1980s, signifying its status as a recognized private landing strip within the aviation community. Its significance was local, directly tied to the productivity and logistics of a single, large agricultural enterprise.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Grigg Farm Airport. The land has been converted to productive, high-value agricultural use, making any future conversion back to an airport economically unfeasible and highly improbable. As a private field that has been defunct for decades, there is no public, commercial, or private interest in its revival.
