I created an account just to come one here and say how bad of an idea this is. You do realize that yelm has like one major highway that is only 2 lanes? There is already so much traffic within yelm and its outlying road ways. If our county government and our state government would get of their butts they could build another highway to I-5. Or better yet, build a highway that runs parrallel to i5 until you get to 167 and then create an exit for i5 and 167. If Yelm was a ghost town, I would say an airport would be a good idea. Here's the kicker, it would actually be quite easy to put in another highway because there is no infrastructure to have to work around, its all military base. But like most local governments all they see is money making potential not spending money to help its people
