## Description

Built on a spit jutting into Grays Harbor, Bowerman Airport (IATA HQM, ICAO KHQM) at Hoquiam may have the most maritime setting of any airfield in Washington — water on three sides, the Pacific just beyond the bar. The strip serves general aviation only; scheduled flights and air cargo are both absent. The working freight story belongs to the Port of Grays Harbor below, which exports soybean meal through its agribulk terminal, moves new vehicles by RoRo and ships logs from the surrounding timber country, connected by US-101, US-12 and the Puget Sound & Pacific railroad. Anything that must fly drives about two hours east to Seattle-Tacoma (SEA). For forwarders, HQM is a GA field with no handling role.
