What’s New at Port of Shelton: LED Taxiway Lights, Hangar Demand, and Ice Cream on Deck
Description
Shelton’s port is buzzing. Executive Director Wendy Smith and Engineering Manager Brandon Palmer join Jeff to walk through what listeners are seeing right now: the Bear Gulch Fire incident base camp at Sanderson Field, an airport-wide taxiway paving and LED lighting project (~$4.3M), and a major rebuild of the former Sawtooth site—engineered for heavy steel fabrication with two 15-ton bridge cranes.
We also hit OysterFest overflow parking (Plan B secured and likely not needed), an Airport Master Plan update with a public meeting coming, the Olympic Mountain Ice Cream move-in (with hopes for a scoop shop), strong hangar demand (new condo hangars via Island Lake LLC), and room to grow at Johns Prairie with short-line rail on site. It’s a quick tour of jobs, infrastructure, and what’s next at the Port of Shelton.
