In 1944, Noble and Eldon Harvey and Wesley Loback began construction of Snohomish Airfield on the original family homestead; consisting of hangars, flight training, and an east-west runway. In 1947, the facility was improved by the addition of a restaurant, administration building, and a maintenance shop. Eldon, Marjorie and their three children ran the airfield, restaurant and flight school until the early 1970's at which time Richard and Kandace Harvey assumed management of airfield and flight school operations.

Richard passed away in 1995 after a lengthy fight with cancer. Today the Snohomish Flying Service is owned and operated by Kandace Harvey, assisted by her four children and General Managers. Harvey Airfield is home to over 300 aircraft and many businesses.
