RWY 27

Lake Wenatchee State Airport (27W) sits near Leavenworth, Washington at 1,939 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 2,473 ft of turf. The field is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless current airport guidance says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at 2,939 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation.

This is a seasonal field. The airport is closed from October 1 to June 1. Plan around that before you launch. Published remarks also call out trees beyond both runway ends. On runway 27, there are 70-foot trees about 450 feet past the end on both sides of the centerline. On runway 09, there are 75-foot trees about 1,000 feet past the end on both sides of the centerline. The runway is marked with reflectors during the open season. Expect pedestrians, vehicles and animals near the runway. Bring your own chains for tiedown. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
