Ocean Shores Airport Plans Historical Display and Bike Rentals for Community Event

The Ocean Shores Airport Advisory Committee made significant strides during their meeting on July 25, 2025, focusing on community engagement and airport promotion. A key decision was the approval of a historical photo display, which will be set up in a hangar to enhance the airport's visibility and connection to local history. The committee confirmed that the necessary tripods for the display are ready, although they will need to source them from another location in the future.

In an effort to boost airport awareness, the committee has successfully collaborated with the Washington Pilots Association, securing a spot on their calendar to promote upcoming events. Additionally, they have distributed flyers across various Ocean Shores community groups, ensuring that residents are informed about airport activities.

The committee also discussed advertising opportunities, including a cost-effective advertisement in the Ocean Observer for $197, which they deemed a worthwhile investment to reach a broad audience. The process for payment was clarified, with the committee planning to proceed once they receive an invoice.

Furthermore, discussions included potential partnerships for bike rentals and electric mopeds at the airport, which could enhance visitor experiences. While the logistics are still being finalized, the committee is optimistic about these additions.

Overall, the meeting underscored the committee's commitment to enhancing the airport's role in the community and fostering greater public engagement. As they move forward with these initiatives, the committee aims to create a more vibrant and accessible airport experience for both residents and visitors.
