==Official Spotting Locations==<br />
<br />
===None===<br />
The "Viewpoint Park" overlook on the West side was closed in 2001, and has now disappeared under the 3rd runway.<br />
<br />
==Other Spotting Locations==<br />
<br />
===Golf Course===<br />
To the immediate S. of the airport is the Tyee Valley Golf Course.<br />
Assuming you're not playing a round, there are a couple of spots nearby.<br />
The car park offers views of arrivals on both runways although the trees can get in the way.<br />
<br />
A road goes around the W. side of the course allowing for spotting runway 34R traffic (that on 34L flies directly overhead), but the subjects for photos will be a bit high and it's only good in the afternoon on sunny days. The road bends halfway down so has 2 names - 18th Ave. S. and/or S196th St.<br />
<br />
===Water Tank===<br />
To the N. of the airport is a small park at 24th. Ave S. and S146th St. Arriving traffic on the 16s can be logged and photographed from here. There is room for about 4 cars to park.<br />
The Port of Seattle police occasionally patrol here although technically it's not airport property. A quick ID check and they'll leave you alone.<br />
<br />
==Locations to Avoid==<br />
<br />
===Eastern Perimeter===<br />
Pretty much anywhere along here, from the fire station to the FedEx facility is off-limits.<br />
The Port police will respond very quickly to anyone "loitering" around here and move offenders on.<br />
<br />
===Cargo===<br />
This used to be a good spot, but the fence is now covered in plastic and "No Trespassing" signs.<br />
