Dear Alaska Air,
I love to travel. I find myself flying out of YKM several times a year. Yes, the flight is early but landing in Seattle gives me enough time to catch any connecting flight I need. Nice and convenient! I don't have to drive to Seattle and, better yet, I don't have to drive home from Seattle after flying across the country...
The Yakima Airport Manager has closed the Air Terminal and runway after early morning testing that proved it unsafe to operate the Airport. They will test again soon and make a determination on when it’s safe to operate.
