Pierce County Airport-Thun Field to undergo master plan update

Pierce County Airport-Thun Field is an important asset to District 1 and Pierce County as a whole. 

The general aviation airport serves as a key transportation and emergency services facility. It also serves local industrial and commercial sites, moving people and goods in and out of our area. Pilots enjoy the community feel and spectacular scenery of Mount Rainier and South Puget Sound.

Pierce County will update the master plan for Pierce County Airport-Thun Field over the next 18 months.

The county and stakeholders will evaluate the current state of the airport and determine how best to meet the community's 20-year development needs. Proposed alternatives – such as new facilities or improvements to existing structures – will be evaluated from an aviation and community standpoint.

The Master Plan Advisory Committee - made up of representatives from the aviation community, businesses and more - will participate in working sessions throughout the process to develop recommendations.
