Overview
Waldron Airstrip, listed as WDN, is a general aviation field in Eastsound, Washington. The airport sits 140 feet above sea level. Alongside scheduled airline service, the airport handles a steady flow of private and charter traffic.
No charter operator is headquartered on the field, but operators routinely position aircraft into WDN for departures. When weather or ramp space demands it, nearby options are Orcas Island Airport (ESD, 4 nm), Deer Harbor SPB (DHB, 6 nm), and Westsound/WSX Seaplane Base (WSX, 6 nm). At 2,700-foot, unpaved, the runway favors turboprops and light general aviation over jet operations.
Charter pricing from WDN depends on aircraft category, positioning distance, and trip timing. In directories and search listings it also appears under Waldronaire. Compare rated operators or run a route through the cost estimator to gauge pricing from Eastsound.
