Forks Airport (S18) sits in Forks, Washington. The field elevation is 299 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts block, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement before planning a landing. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Published remarks say all traffic patterns are north of the field. That matters here because the airport also has wildlife on and near the airport. The parallel taxiway is marked with reflectors. There are also reported obstructions near the runway environment, including Jersey barriers east of the centerline plus signs near both thresholds. Review the current Chart Supplement before you go.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Bring your own tie-downs. For clearance delivery, contact Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694. If you need current airport status, tie-down guidance, or local operating details, call the airport operator directly before departure. The manager extension is 240.
