The former entrance to the former Larson Air Force Base, closed in 1966, off SR 17. The blue building to the right in the rear is North Elementary School. Grant County is proposing working with the Port of Moses Lake to get rid of the remains of the base entrance, turn Larson Boulevard (behind the gate) into a cul-de-sac, and improve the streets and sidewalks across the Larson Community ahead of any future annexation of the area by the city of Moses Lake.

County, Port to cooperate in Larson improvements
MOSES LAKE — Grant County officials have proposed working with the Port of Moses Lake on a series of improvements on sidewalks and streets in the Larson community — including formally sealing off the old base entrance near North Elementary School. Speaking to a meeting of the commission overseeing the Port of Moses Lake on Monday, Grant County Engineer Dave Bren said the old base entrance near the intersection of Larson Boulevard and West Craig Street, not far from SR 17 and North Elementary, is in disrepair and something of a nuisance. The entrance was fenced and blocked off when the base was closed in the 1960s.
