Published remarks also say runway 26 west end is extremely rough. The runway can be soft when wet. Vehicles, pedestrians and animals may be on or near the runway.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Bring your own ropes if you plan to tie down. Pilots should also check the current FAA Chart Supplement and contact Washington State Aviation Division before use, since this field has special operating limits and seasonal closure rules.
