Anacortes Airport (74S) is a small general aviation field on Fidalgo Island in Skagit County, Washington, serving the town of Anacortes and the surrounding San Juan Islands gateway area. Sitting at 240 feet elevation with a single paved, lit runway, it offers straightforward VFR access for pilots visiting this island community on Puget Sound.
Anacortes Airport (ICAO 74S) is a small general aviation airfield located at Anacortes, Washington, on Fidalgo Island. It sits at a field elevation of 240 feet and offers a single hard-surfaced, lit runway aligned north-south, making it a modest but useful base for pilots visiting this coastal town in the Puget Sound region.
The airfield lies on Fidalgo Island, the landmass on which the city of Anacortes sits. Rosario Strait and the San Juan Islands lie to the west, Deception Pass separates Fidalgo Island from Whidbey Island to the south, and the Swinomish Channel separates Fidalgo Island from the Washington mainland to the east. This places the field within a distinctive island and strait geography in northern Puget Sound, near the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Anacortes Airport has a single physical runway, 18/36, 3001 feet long with a hard surface and lit for night operations. There is no ILS approach available at the field.
Pilots navigating toward the field can use the surrounding island geography as visual reference: Rosario Strait and the San Juan Islands lie to the west of Fidalgo Island, Deception Pass and its bridge mark the boundary with Whidbey Island to the south, and the Swinomish Channel separates the island from the mainland to the east.
