Personal 500 Sales Co. Heliport

Economic reasons. The heliport was a private facility exclusively serving the 'Personal 500 Sales Co.'. Such facilities are closed when the parent company relocates, is sold, or goes out of business. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was due to an accident, regulatory action, or military conversion. The heliport simply became obsolete once the business it supported was no longer operating from that site.

The site has been completely redeveloped and is now part of a large industrial and commercial park in Sumner, WA. The coordinates (47.203701, -122.223999) point to a location currently occupied by a large industrial manufacturing facility operated by Bradken, a global engineering and manufacturing company. There are no visible traces or remnants of the former heliport; the land is fully utilized by buildings and parking lots.

The heliport's significance was purely commercial and local. The name 'Personal 500 Sales Co. Heliport' strongly indicates it was used by a company that sold and serviced the Hughes 500 (later MD 500) series of light turbine helicopters, a popular model for corporate and private use. Operations would have been limited and specialized, consisting of:
- Sales demonstration flights for potential clients.
- Customer handovers and initial training.
- Maintenance and test flights.
- Corporate transportation for the company's own personnel.
It was not a public-use facility and did not handle any scheduled passenger or cargo services.

None. The land has been repurposed for heavy industrial use. The site is fully developed with no available space for an aviation facility. There are no known plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening a heliport at this location.
