Regarding Galvin Flying Service I can verify that the charges there are
high.  However, there are no places at Boeing Field where they are much
better.

For the record, I've been flying into Boeing from Pt Townsend for about 20
years - regularly.  I've always parked at Galvin and choked when I paid for
the fuel that I regularly purchased.  Why would I buy their gas?  Well,
Galvin almost always has a courtesy car to loan me and when they don't, they
give me a darn good rate on a rental. They have almost NEVER charged me for
overnight parking on their ramp even thought the published rate has gone
from $4 per nite to $7 or $8 - maybe even more.  I've stayed there as long
as three weeks at a time and hardly ever been asked to pay.  The folks there
are terrific and they give excellent service.  I think   even if you are
from out of town, if you ask they'll help you in a zillion ways and if
you're careful what you buy from them you'll get a good return for  your
money.

The few times my aircraft has developed mechanical problems while on their
ramp they have been quick to help and it seemed the rates were reasonable.

Oh yes - bring a cover for your airplane because as everyone knows it always
rains in Seattle.

Happy flying,
John Barrett
