are just 61 miles north of downtown Seattle in the
beautiful Skagit River Valley Delta
and we are just
just 50 miles south of
the Canadian border crossing at Blaine.
On your way up to jump altitude, the view is
breathtaking. To the west is Puget Sound and Admiralty
Inlet with beautiful views of the San Juan Islands. To
the north of our airfield is snow covered Mt. Baker at
10,778' which holds the record for snowfall of 1,140
inches in one year. To the east of our dropzone is the
North Cascades National Park also known as the American
Alps. All of us wish to make your visit to the drop
zone, whether you are a first time jumper, or an
experienced up-jumper a pleasant one.

Northwest Skydivers is the
drop zone at Barker Field in Mt. Vernon WA. NW Skydivers
came into being on April 21st, 2006 to meet the needs of
local skydivers in the North Puget Sound . Our goal is
to have a dropzone where the vibe is all important. The
management wants to put just as many jumpers in the air
per hour as our Porter can haul. You need not fear
getting bumped from a load at Northwest Skydivers. |
Our jump
aircraft is a Pilatus Porter PC-6. It will comfortably
hold 8 jumpers for
your ride to altitude. The Porter is a turbine
aircraft that
will fly you to 13,500 ft in under 12 minutes from take
off.
 We
can easily do 3 loads of 8 jumpers per hour.
