Dan -

KAWO (Arlington, WA - about 1 hour N of Seattle, WA).

Our local club is based at this airport. 100+ members, easily 20+
active pilots. We have operations every weekend, and sometimes on
weekdays. 20 - 30 launches per day.

Our "strip" is actually 3 grass areas between the paved main runway
and the main taxiway. Each grass area is about 1800' long and has a
paved taxiway at each end running 90 degrees to the grass (these are
what connect the runway to the taxiway). We use the middle grass area
for takeoffs, and then one of the other grass areas (based on wind
direction) for landings.

KAWO is a pretty busy GA airport. Not much jet traffic, but quite a
variety of homebuilts, antiques, acrobatic planes, formation-flying RV
groups (the famous "Blackjack Squardon"), and helicopters.

Glider patterns are all to the east of the field, and powered traffic
always does patterns to the west of the field. Makes for interesting
base legs, sometimes with gliders and powered traffic nose-to-nose;
but it hasn't ever created any conflicts that I'm aware of.

Only the helicopters seem to cause problems! We've had some scary
close-calls with them (cutting into our pattern, flying across the
grass takeoff area without looking, and blowing their rotorwash all
over glider grids and assembly areas)... but the fixed-wing folks all
seem to play nice together without any issues.

Good luck,
