Kenmore puts wheels down
Their seaplanes have been flying to the San Juans and British Columbia for years … and now Kenmore Air will offer a land-based service in Skagit County. I put my Chamber of Commerce hat on Monday to take part in an inaugural Kenmore Air Express flight from Skagit/Bayview Airport to Seattle. Kenmore, established in 1946, will offer the Bayview-Sea-Tac shuttle beginning November 29. The flight takes 30 minutes from Bayview to Boeing Field, where a shuttle bus then completes the trip to Sea-Tac on a 10- to 12-minute run directly to the main level gate. Pictured here with one of Kenmore’s nine-passenger prop jets is Kenmore President Gregg Munro, son of the company’s founder. He and a friendly crew of company officers and employees rolled out the red carpet for a flight that included representatives of area chambers of commerce, the press, the Port of Skagit County and the Economic Development Association of Skagit County. Call 1-800-543-9595 for more information on this new air service.
