Wilson Creek Airport sits in Wilson Creek, Washington. Field elevation is 1,430 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the provided facts, so verify the current field layout and usable surface before planning a landing. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern only if that matches current local practice and the current Chart Supplement. The field sits in central Washington. That means density altitude and wind planning deserve attention, especially in warm weather. The published remarks also call out a fence on the south side of the runway area near midfield, about 70 ft from the runway. Pilots should also bring their own ropes.
For clearance delivery, contact Grant County Approach at 509-762-2842. When Approach is closed, contact Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694. No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts, so contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need fuel, parking, or local handling details. The town hall hours in the remarks may be useful if you need to reach the owner or local airport contact during the week.
