A private airfield, named [[Sequim Valley Airport]], was built northwest of the city near Carlsborg in 1983. The area was chosen for its dry climate and level terrain; a paved runway was added in 1986. The airport is primarily used for [[general aviation]] and also hosts flight instructors, [[hot air balloon]] flights, air cargo, and emergency services. It is the site of the annual Olympic Peninsula Air Affaire/Fly-In, a [[fly-in]] festival.<ref>{{cite news |last=Dashiell |first=Michael |date=December 2, 2020 |title=New horizons for Sequim Valley Airport |url=https://www.sequimgazette.com/life/new-horizons-for-sequim-valley-airport/ |work=Sequim Gazette |accessdate=April 30, 2025}}</ref>
