The airport is Evergreen Sky Ranch, a private, grass strip (2650' long)
located near the town of Black Diamond (actually it looks closer to
Enumclaw
or even Auburn to me, but it's listed as in Black Diamond), about 15 NM
southeast of Seattle.

"Diamond Head" is considerably west of there (and probably has much nicer
weather).

There is, actually, a Diamond Point near Port Townsend and a Black Diamond
Airport (95W) in Black Diamond. Black Diamond is named for the coal that
used to be mined there and also is home to the Black Diamond Bakery (not to
be confused with the other bakery in town) which is said to have the world's
best sticky buns -- even better than those that can be found in and around
the Black Forest. They bake them in a brick oven. Every morning (something
like 2 am) they put a load of wood in the oven and burn it down to ashes.
Then they sweep the ashes and just keep putting their breads in the slowly
cooling oven until about noon.

Diamond Point also has much nicer weather than Black Diamond.
