Avey Field State Airport (FAA LID: 69S) is a public use airport located on the border at Laurier, in Ferry County, Washington, United States. It is owned by the Washington State DOT Aviation Division.
Also known as Avey Field State/Laurier Airport, it is one of three airports that straddle the United States and Canadian border (the other two are Piney Pinecreek Border Airport and Coronach/Scobey Border Station Airport). The airport is shared by the State of Washington and the Province of British Columbia. Both the United States Customs Service and Canada Border Services Agency have offices conveniently located on U.S. Route 395 and British Columbia Highway 395 adjacent to the parking area. Laurier consists of the customs office and a post office. Little remains to indicate the thriving mining community of the 1890s. The nearest motels and recreational sites are located in Canada at a distance of 4 miles.
The Canadian recreational community of Christina Lake is 6.5 km (4.0 mi) north along Highway 395 and the Crowsnest Highway/Highway 3, while Orient, Washington, is approximately 10 mi (16 km) south along U.S. Route 395.
Facilities and aircraft
The unattended airport is at an elevation of 1,655 ft (504 m) above mean sea level and covers 10 acres (4 ha). The gravel runway 17-35 measures 1,975 by 40 feet (602 x 12 m). It is marked with retro-reflective devices, but both shoulders are soft and rough.
Mountains and hills surround the airport and there are trees on both approaches. An overflight to verify field conditions and to rule out obstructions (such as pedestrians, vehicles or animals) is recommended. The field is usually open from June 1 to October 1.
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2006, the airport had 800 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 66 per month.
