editThe following in bold represents what I think may sound too much like a tourist brochure, and appropriately encyclopedic. If this could be fixed, it would probably be good.
- Bandera State Airport (FAA LID: 4W0) was constructed in 1948 as one of the first state airports. Nestled in the beautiful upper Snoqualmie Valley 14 miles east of North Bend, Washington, this field still serves as a vital emergency airport. This quiet, scenic airport offers a calm way to spend an hour on a stopover, or for an overnight camping trip. The airport is just a few feet off Interstate 90, yet is quiet and removed from the noise of the city. The scenery and air are truly something to enjoy. The nearby Snoqualmie River provides fairly good fishing, though the trout generally run only six to eight inches long. It is an excellent location for mountain flying practice. Though surrounded by mountains, the valley is wide enough for maneuvering most light aircraft. The airport is frequently used by instructors for training students in soft field work and in mountain flying. Glider clubs frequently base out of Bandera.
