Washington Muni sits in Washington, Iowa. Field elevation is 754.4 ft MSL. The airport has two concrete runways. The longest is Runway 18/36 at 4,000 ft. It is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published calm wind runway is Runway 36. That matters on a light day because it gives you a simple default for the pattern.
Washington Airport is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. Fuel is available 24 hours by credit card. Airport services are also listed as available 24 hours a day. Runway lights are medium intensity on both runways. PAPI and REIL are installed on Runways 18/36 and 13/31.
For a first-time arrival, pay attention to the published clear approach surfaces and the 7 to 1 transitional surface note. The field is in a small-town setting with no tower, so self-announce early and keep a sharp scan in the pattern. If you need clearance delivery, contact Chicago ARTCC at 630-906-8921 before departure.
