Evergreen Field (FAA LID: 59S) was a public-use airport located five miles (8.0 km) east of the central business district of Vancouver, a city in Clark County, Washington, United States.[1] It was located northeast of the intersection of Southeast Mill Plain Boulevard & Southeast 136th Avenue.[2] The airport was founded in 1946 by Wally Olson. Since 1964 it was home to the Northwest Antique Airplane Club (NWAAC) and the Evergreen Fly-In. A residential airpark was established adjacent to the airport in 1968. After Olson's death in 1997, his family continued to operate the airport until closing it in July 2006.[3][4][5]

A remaining artifact of Evergreen Airfield in Vancouver, Washington. The orange cone served as a visual aid to pilots warning of power lines within the flight approach of the runway at Evergreen. Usually mounted in pairs, the other cone has apparently fallen off the wire. Located about 75 meters east of SE Park Crest Ave. on the south side of Mill Plain Blvd.

The property was reportedly being sold for $15 million to a developer, but the $215 million redevelopment deal fell through in 2007.[6][7]
