Cool, I'm in the Seattle area and didn't know of that one either. Do you have any background on it? I run a similar website to catalog all current airports, but also collect info on closed airports for historical purposes. I added a page for it here: https://pirep.io/airports/UNM96. If there's any info to document on it that would be wonderful.

It's a well known hiking area on the island. It's been part of the Saratoga Woods public park since it was bought by the land conservancy in ~2001. It was noted as abandoned at the time. The main part of the park is second growth, but the area around the airstrip looks to be mainly smaller trees, so possibly logged later, post early Seattle logging boom times.
