Anacortes Airport (IATA: OTS) is a small public general-aviation airport on Fidalgo Island in Anacortes, Washington, about 60 miles north of Seattle. Owned by the Port of Anacortes, it has a single asphalt runway and serves private pilots, flight training, and visitors bound for the San Juan Islands and Deception Pass. There is no scheduled commercial airline service, but the airport offers a convenient coastal gateway for light aircraft.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors watch for marine-layer fog and gusty crosswinds, especially in the morning; check nearby weather (Whidbey Island, Bellingham) and be ready to delay VFR departures. Also, summer weekend transient parking can fill early, so call ahead to the Port of Anacortes if you need a tie-down.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is about 2 miles southwest of downtown Anacortes, so a car, taxi, or rideshare is the most practical way to get there; public transit service near the airport is limited. Rental cars are available in town rather than at the field, so arrange one in advance if needed. If you are heading to the San Juan Islands, allow extra time for the drive to the Anacortes ferry terminal, especially on summer weekends.
