About Arlington Municipal Airport
Overview
Arlington Municipal Airport serves the Greater Seattle area in Washington State, situated northwest of the metropolitan region. As a medium-sized airport with two paved runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for general aviation, training, and local transportation needs in Snohomish County.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with over 52% of observations showing clear weather. Temperature ranges from -7°C to 32°C create variable conditions, while prevailing southeast winds at an average of 6.6 knots provide relatively stable approach environments. September through November offer the most consistent VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
Located at 142 feet mean sea level, Arlington Municipal Airport features two runway configurations: 11/29 at 3,500 feet and 16/34 at 5,333 feet. Both runways offer excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and minimal average crosswind components (4 knots on 11/29, 2.5 knots on 16/34).
Approach Considerations
Given the consistent southeast wind pattern, pilots should anticipate runway 11/29 and 16/34 as primary approaches. Visibility averages 8.7 statute miles, though pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced conditions, with 11.6% of observations experiencing fog and 6.6% having visibility below 3 statute miles.
