Southwest Washington Rgnl is in Kelso, Washington. Field elevation is 20.1 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 12/30, which is 4,391 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.725. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Cascade Air is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL, Jet-A and Jet-A Prist. It also has 24-hour self-serve credit card fuel for 100LL. After-hours Jet-A service is available by call-out. Runway 12/30 has medium intensity lights with nonstandard spacing. REILs and PAPI are installed on both ends. The published remarks also note a +3 ft hill near the departure end of runway 30. The obstruction area extends from about 40 ft to 200 ft and is offset 105 degrees left. Expect bird activity in and around the airport. Pilots should also bring their own tiedowns. For clearance delivery issues, the Chart Supplement says Seattle ARTCC can be contacted if flight service cannot be reached.
