HOW ABOUT FRESH CRAB AND OYSTERS? Along with mountains, abundant forests and plenty of rainfall each year, the Pacific Northwest has something else you don’t see just anywhere in the country – floatplanes.

The completed kiosks will greet travelers passing through 136 public-use airports each year. Kiosks will have information about what the community has to offer the aviation public, including local attractions,
