Snohomish County and Propeller Airports received the Washington Economic Development Association’s (WEDA) 2020 Innovation in Economic Development Award.

WEDA recognizes innovative programs, projects and partnerships that are pioneering, novel and groundbreaking. The award recognizes communities and individuals who are doing state-of-the-art work to further the field of economic development. It may be the attraction of a world-class event that made a significant economic impact on a community, an atypical alliance of groups who may have never worked together before or the creation of a program that significantly improves a community’s ability to attract investment.

Paine Field Airport has been recognized numerous times for its innovation, including:

• World’s Best Regional Airport, Monocle Magazine
• NAIOP 2019 Innovation Award for Regional Impact
• National Council for Public-Private Partnerships 2019 Innovation Project Award

According to multiple sources, United Airlines is discontinuing its three daily flights between Everett’s Paine Field (PAE) and San Francisco (SFO) on March 5. United has offered service on the route with 76-seat Embraer 175s since March 31, 2019.

United will continue to serve Paine Field with expanded service from Denver (DEN). It will add a third daily flight on the route on Feb. 13, said United spokesman Jonathan Guerin.

United shares the terminal at Paine Field with Seattle-based Alaska Airlines. Alaska offers 18 daily departures to 10 cities, including San Francisco.

Alaska spokesman Ray Lane stated on Monday that the airline was aware of United’s reduction in service and “our schedule to and from Paine Field remains unchanged at this time.”
