EVERETT, Wash. — A single-engine airplane landed in the grass at Everett’s Paine Field after a problem with its landing gear.

Paine Field officials said that around 11 a.m. Sunday, the small plane was coming in from the north on the main runway when its landing gear collapsed, and the plane landed off the runway.

The pilot and one passenger on board were not hurt.

The plane is in the process of being removed.
