Evergreen Field (FAA LID: 59S) was a public-use airport located five miles (8 km) east of the central business district of Vancouver, a city in Clark County, Washington, United States.[1] It was located northeast of the intersection of Southeast Mill Plain Boulevard & Southeast 136th Avenue.[2]
The airport was founded in 1946 by Wally Olson. Since 1964 it was home to the Northwest Antique Airplane Club (NWAAC) and the Evergreen Fly-In. A residential airpark was established adjacent to the airport in 1968. After Olson's death in 1997, his family continued to operate the airport until closing it in July 2006.[3][4][5] The property was reportedly being sold for $15 million to a developer, but the $215 million redevelopment deal fell through in 2007.[6][7]
Evergreen Field covered an area of 68 acres (28 ha) which contained two runways: 10L/28R with an asphalt pavement measuring 2,155 x 40 ft (657 x 12 m) and 10R/28L with a turf surface measuring 2,000 x 100 ft (610 x 30 m).[1]
