Airway Heights, Washington
Spokane County · Population 10,757 · Card no. 1500
The town grew up beside the airfield west of Spokane and took its name from it. Fairchild Air Force Base next door is the reason it exists and most of the reason it has grown.
- It incorporated in 1955, when the postwar base build-out was at its height.
- The city has grown faster than almost any in eastern Washington.
- Its water and the base's have been intertwined since the beginning.
