Balloon Depot

Balloon Depot is a hot air balloon ride company in Snohomish, Washington. It has flown in the Puget Sound region since 1978. The main office is at Harvey Field on Airport Way in Snohomish. The company says it has nearly 40 years of accident no-cost flying.

Flights are led by commercially licensed pilots. The site says guests help with the inflation and then lift off with the pilot. Flights start at Harvey Airfield soon after sunrise or before sunset, when the air is calmest.

The launch site changes with the wind. Balloons drift with the wind once they are launched, so the company launches upwind of areas with many good landing sites. The site says flights run when the weather allows.

The fleet has four balloons built by Cameron Balloons US in Dexter, Michigan. Two larger balloons, 2nd Sun and Olympic, carry six and eight passengers. Autumn Sun is a small balloon for two guests and a pilot. Solstice is the largest and carries up to twelve passengers.

The site says the gondolas are high sided and hold 8 to 11 guests. It says the flights suit weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and reunions. Gift certificates can be bought on the site.

The site lists guest reviews from Google, a FAQ page, a history page and a blog. Contact is by phone at 360-805-1538 or through the contact page. The office address is Harvey Field, 10600 Airport Way, Suite A, Snohomish, Washington 98296.
