I think that's why the FAA hasn't spotted the duplication. From the sat view, it's clear that they're the same airport, with the runway described differently -- there's not room for a second strip on the same island.
Interestingly enough, they aren't *exactly* duplicates, at least not after I've done processing them into my navaid.com database. The latitude, longitudes and elevations are slightly different.
I have WA58 is 48.6525, -122.584166667, elev 5 and WA93 is 48.652606388889, -122.57461722, elev 8. I think that makes them 1.8nm apart according to http://williams.best.vwh.net/gccalc.htm

But the two records also list different owners. I suppose the only way this is going to be settled is for somebody to phone both owners.

Oh, and the two records have different runways, one is 16/34 1500x75 and the other is "NW/SE" 1500x100.

The FAA has a duplicate entry in their database, listing this airport as both WA58 and WA93.
