I love flying Pacific Northwest... there's tons of little airstrips in the San Juan Islands area...  Orcas Island and Friday Harbor are great starting points and then you can fly into grass strips.  There are some nice addons on flightsim.to as well, checkout these devs:

This is 2020 but it does seem to work in 2024...  although it may be a partial downgrade because default 2024 assets (grass runways etc looks nicer)

also for 2020 some work those fine

This one is south of Seattle, super nice

Also a lot of the little airports from Orbx I highly recommend, S43 Harvery, 74S Anacortes, 1WA6 Fall City (just east Seattle), don't forget Bill Womack's 7S3 Stark's Twin Oaks... SUPERB 2024 scenery!

Some of these aren't like super back country but I would recommend anyway

 

Here is FS2024 Native San Juan Islands Pack.  Upgrades above airports to FS2024.

Another great freeware product is Misty Fjords for 2024. Dozens of small airfields in Canada and Alaska.

I'm enjoying the BLSQ C208 Amphibian in misty. I am trying to find a find good map of the seaplane bases in this area with no success. 

I am aware that a .kmz file can be imported into litttlenavmap, but doesnt seem to work for me. Any suggestions ?
