Several flying fields in Washington state are also not listed, many being used by AMA sanctioned clubs. That being the case, it's obvious to me that whether or not the club is sanctioned by the AMA makes no difference to the FAA since all the FAA has to do the kill a club is not let them fly at their home airfield. The first airfield that comes to mind is located in Marymoor Park, a field owned and maintained by King County. Since the park is located in Redmond, clearly no where close to the "Big 5", those being Joint Base Lewis/McCord, NAS Whidbey Island, Paine Field, King County International Airport and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, is in class "G" airspace and not within 5 miles of any airport of any size, there's logical no reason it's not listed
