Vashon Muni Airport (2S1) sits on Vashon Island in Washington. The field elevation is 316 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 2,001 ft of turf. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. Pattern altitude is 983 ft AGL, which is 1,299 ft MSL.
There are no published ILS approaches here. That makes current weather and local terrain awareness more important, especially for a short turf strip with close-in obstructions. Published remarks call out turbulence near the north end of runway 17/35 when crosswinds are strong. They also note a 5-foot fence and dirt road about 182 feet from the threshold of runway 17. Night operations are only for pilots who know the airport and its close-in obstructions in all quadrants. Runway 17/35 has nonstandard low-intensity lights with nonstandard threshold colors. Touch-and-go landings are not recommended.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Check with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival if you need current services. Occasional large wild animals are also reported on the airport. A careful taxi and runway scan make sense on arrival and departure.
