Evergreen Field, also known as Evergreen Airport, was a public-use airport located 5miles east of the central business district of Vancouver, a city in Clark County, Washington, United States. It was located northeast of the intersection of Southeast Mill Plain Boulevard & Southeast 136th Avenue.[2]
The airport was established in August 1944 after Roy C. Sugg was granted a permit by the Clark County planning commission for an airport on Mill Plain Road "seven miles east of Vancouver". Sugg sold the airport to Wally Olson in 1945.[3]
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 April 1968. In 1997, a four-year legal battle ended allowing the Evergreen North-South Airpark to continue operation after Evergreen's closure.[4] After Olson's death in July 1997, his family continued to operate the airport until closing it in July 2006.[5] [6] The property was reportedly being sold for $15 million to a developer, but the $215 million redevelopment deal fell through in 2007.[7] [8]
Evergreen Field covered an area of 68acres which contained two runways: 10L/28R with an asphalt pavement measuring 2155x and 10R/28L with a turf surface measuring 2000x.
