Crest Airfield is in Covington, Washington. The field elevation is 472 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 15/33 is 3,288 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Crest Airpark is on the field. It carries 100LL. Twenty-four hour credit card fuel is available. Pilots should plan for trees near the runway environment. Published remarks note trees in the primary and transitional surfaces. They also note trees on both sides of the runway. Runway 33 markings are faded. Runway 15 markings are faded too.
A few operational items matter here. The airport is closed when there is snow on the runway. Touch-and-go landings are prohibited. Night operations use runway 15 when wind and weather permit. For clearance delivery, contact Seattle Approach at 206-214-4723. Bring your own tiedowns. If you are arriving for the first time, review the current Chart Supplement before departure. The runway length is workable for light aircraft. The trees and the published runway notes deserve a careful brief before you go.
