WA25, aka Green Valley (Elev. 325 feet ASL), is a 1470-foot grass strip (Runways 12/30) 35 miles NNE of KSEA (SeaTac), 15 miles NE of KPAE (Paine Field/747-767-777-787 factory) and 10 miles SE of KAWO (Arlington, home of the EAA NW Fly-In, second largest behind Oshkosh). For a quickie, you can take off on RWY 34 @ KAWO, bank to 090 and let your GPS direct you in; Best approach altitude seems to be 1700 feet ASL. It's a nice challenge if you're up to it. When I was much younger (9-17 years), my dad and I flew in and out of this airport numerous times. Due to a bad back/legs from arthritis, this is the only safe way I can fly. The price of wet rental and avgas don't help much, neither. ;-) Equipment used: FS2004, Cessna 172SP Skyhawk, Saitek ProFlight Yoke System (The 19-inch monitor helps, too!). BTW, my finches Thor and Tia approve of the following video!
