Lower Granite State Airport (00W) sits near Colfax, Washington. The field elevation is 719 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 14/32 is 3,400 ft long and has a gravel surface. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Published remarks say all traffic patterns are on the northeast side of the airport because of high terrain to the west. That matters here. The runway environment also has a steep drop off on both sides. There is a hill about 8,000 ft from the threshold of Runway 14. A power line is about 6,000 ft from the threshold of Runway 32.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan fuel and ground support with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival. Published remarks also say the gravel runway surface can be rough and soft in places. There are vehicles, pedestrians and animals in the area. No winter snow removal operations are provided. Pilots must provide their own tiedown chains. For clearance delivery, contact Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694.
