Evergreen Field
Evergreen Field (FAA LID: 59S), also known as Evergreen Airport, was a public-use airport located five miles (8.0 km) east of the central business district of Vancouver, a city in Clark County, Washington, United States. It was located northeast of the intersection of Southeast Mill Plain Boulevard & Southeast 136th Avenue.The airport was established in August 1944 after Roy C. Sugg was granted a permit by the Clark County planning commission for an airport on Mill Plain Road "seven miles east of Vancouver". Sugg sold the airport to Wally Olson in 1945.Since 1964 it was home to the Northwest Antique Airplane Club (NWAAC) and the Evergreen Fly-In. A residential airpark was established adjacent to the airport in April 1968. In 1997, a four-year legal battle ended allowing the Evergreen North-South Airpark to continue operation after Evergreen's closure. After Olson's death in July 1997, his family continued to operate the airport until closing it in July 2006. The property was reportedly being sold for $15 million to a developer, but the $215 million redevelopment deal fell through in 2007.
