Copalis State Airport is in Copalis, Washington. The field elevation is 1 ft MSL. It has one runway, 14/32, which is 3,560 ft long and surfaced with sand. No tower is published here. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
The runway is available when the tide is low. That matters here more than at most strips. The airport also has a rock obstruction near runway 14. Vehicles, pedestrians and animals may be on or near the runway. The airport is closed to vehicles from April 15 through the day after Labor Day. This is a low-elevation coastal strip, so tide timing and runway condition should be part of your preflight planning.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so plan on confirming services with the airport operator before you go. For a first visit, treat this as a short-field coastal landing with active surface and access issues. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any local notes before departure.
