Sequim Valley Airport (SQV) is a small public-use general aviation airport serving Sequim and the eastern Olympic Peninsula of Washington. Located just north of town near the Strait of Juan de Fuca, it offers a quiet, scenic base for private pilots visiting Olympic National Park, Dungeness Spit, and the Sequim lavender farms. The field has a single runway and primarily handles light aircraft, with no scheduled commercial airline service.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors watch the marine layer and crosswinds from the Strait of Juan de Fuca; morning departures often have calmer air and better visibility than afternoons. Also, announce position clearly on CTAF—traffic can be quiet but includes a mix of local and transient pilots.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is about 3 miles northwest of downtown Sequim, so a car or pre-arranged ride is the most practical way to reach town and nearby attractions. Rideshare and taxi service can be sparse on the Olympic Peninsula, especially at night, so arrange pickup before you land. Rental cars are available in Sequim and Port Angeles, but confirm after-hours pickup if you arrive late.
