==Official Spotting Locations==

The "Viewpoint Park" overlook on the West side was closed in 2001, and has now disappeared under the 3rd runway.

==Other Spotting Locations==

===Water Tank===

To the North of the airport there is a small park at 24th. Ave S. and S146th St. Arriving traffic on the 16L and 16C can be logged and photographed from here. There is room for about five cars to park.
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. This spot is best in the morning hours and a 300mm telephoto lens is recommended.

===Parking Garage===
[[Image:Northwest N589NW.jpg|thumb|right]]
The Seatac parking garage offers a great spot for photography of airplanes. It is located on the eighth floor on the northwest side of the parking garage. This spot is the only suitable area on the eighth floor to view planes on the tarmac or runway. The eighth floor of the parking garage is used for weekly parking, so if you plan to park in the parking garage, you can do so on floor four, five or six only. Get there early if you plan to take pictures because by 2PM the sun is directly in your eyes. Heat haze in the summertime sets in at around 10-11AM.

===188th Street===

When planes are landing on runways 34R and 34C, 188th Street and 16th AVE offers good spotting opportunities. From this location you can take pictures of planes landing over the 188th Street tunnel. The best time to take pictures from this location is from 3PM to Sunset. Police activity is usually a minimal.

===Golf Course===

To the immediate S. of the airport is the Tyee Valley Golf Course.
Assuming you're not playing a round, there are a couple of spots nearby.
The car park offers views of arrivals on both runways although the trees can get in the way.

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.

==Locations to Avoid==

===Eastern Perimeter===

Pretty much anywhere along here, from the fire station to the FedEx facility is off-limits.
The Port police will respond very quickly to anyone "loitering" around here and move offenders on.

There is no "official" spotting location for Boeing Field, however the Museum of Flight parking lot is the most commonly used.

===King County Elections Office===

Located at [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=E+Marginal+Way+S+and+S+90th+St,+Seattle,+WA&sll=47.522638,-122.299295&sspn=0.002402,0.005021&ie=UTF8&ll=47.522653,-122.299579&spn=0.002402,0.005021&t=h&z=18 East Marginal Way and South 90th Street ] , this is a fantastic location to take pictures of planes from. You will need a decent sized step ladder as the area is fenced. Light is best in the afternoon and a 200mm lens as well as a wide angle lens will do just fine.

===Midfield Air Park ===

Located off East Marginal Way and South 86th PL, this is a former Boeing Company parking lot that offers a great place to watch planes when runway 13R is in use. If you take pictures, make sure you have a medium sized step ladder. The light is best in the afternoon hours and a 200mm lens will do you fine at this spot.

==Locations to Avoid==

==Regular Traffic==

General aviation dominates the airport, but Boeing test flights are the highlight. New 737's are seen doing test flights prior to delivery at all times of the day and week. In the late afternoon, Airborne Express, ATI, DHL, and UPS cargo heavies arrive and depart. Kenmore Air Cessna Caravans can be seen departing anytime of the day taking passengers to the San Juan Islands. This airport is where most business jets come to and accounts for more than half of jet traffic to the airport.

===Parking Garage===
[[Image:Northwest N589NW.jpg|thumb|right]]
The Seatac parking garage offers a great spot for photography of airplanes. It is located on the eighth floor on the northwest side of the parking garage. This spot is the only suitable area on the eighth floor to view planes on the tarmac or runway. The eighth floor of the parking garage is used for weekly parking, so if you plan to park in the parking garage, you can do so on floor four, five or six only. Get there early if you plan to take pictures because by 2PM the sun is directly in your eyes. Heat haze in the summertime sets in at around 10-11AM.

==Official Spotting Locations==

==Other Spotting Locations==

===Renton Chamber of Commerce===

The Renton Chamber of Commerce parking lot is located just past the Rainer Ave North and Airport Way South intersection. The parking lot offers a good afternoon view of the airport along with a view of the Boeing Ramp where new 737's are inspected before their first flights. This area is best for runway 33 landings. If your taking pictures of aircraft, a 200mm lens or longer is recommended.

===Northwest Park===
There is a park at the Northwest end of Renton's Perimiter Road West. If offers a good view for planes landing on runway 15 in the afternoon light. Seaplane landings, takeoffs, and launches can been seen from here. You do not need to bring a step ladder as their is a grassy knoll you can stand on to get to fence level, however one is recommended.

==Locations to Avoid==
===Logan Ave North & North 6th Ave===

Although tempting, do not attempt to take pictures of Boeing 737's on the east side of the airport. Boeing security will swiftly respond and ask you to leave.

==Regular Traffic==

Sound Flight is one of the only airlines that operate out of Renton. It is common to see small general aviation airplanes, seaplanes, and small business jets at the airport. Boeing 737 first flights usually happen on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 0830 and 1500 hours, but usually around 1100 and 1400 hours. After a 737's first flight, it will almost always never return to RNT. All flight testing is done from Boeing Field.

==Other Spotting Locations==

===Water Tank===

To the North of the airport there is a small park at 24th. Ave S. and S146th St. Arriving traffic on the 16L and 16C can be logged and photographed from here. There is room for about five cars to park.
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.

===Parking Garage===
[[Image:Northwest N589NW.jpg|thumb|right]]
The Seatac parking garage offers a great spot for photography of airplanes. It is located on the eighth floor on the northwest side of the parking garage. This spot is the only suitable area on the eighth floor to view planes on the tarmac or runway. The eighth floor of the parking garage is used for weekly parking, so if you plan to park in the parking garage, you can do so on floor four, five or six only. Get there early if you plan to take pictures because by 2PM the sun is directly in your eyes. Heat haze in the summertime sets in at around 10-11AM.

===188th Street===

When planes are landing on runways 34R and 34C, 188th Street and 16th AVE offers good spotting opportunities. From this location you can take pictues of planes landing over the 188th Street tunnel. The best time to take pictues from this location is from 3PM to Sunset. Police activity is usually a minimal.

===Golf Course===

To the immediate S. of the airport is the Tyee Valley Golf Course.
Assuming you're not playing a round, there are a couple of spots nearby.
The car park offers views of arrivals on both runways although the trees can get in the way.

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.

==Locations to Avoid==

==Official Spotting Locations==

The "Viewpoint Park" overlook on the West side was closed in 2001, and has now disappeared under the 3rd runway.

==Other Spotting Locations==

===Water Tank===

To the North of the airport there is a small park at 24th. Ave S. and S146th St. Arriving traffic on the 16L and 16C can be logged and photographed from here. There is room for about five cars to park.
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.

===Parking Garage===
[[Image:Northwest N589NW.jpg|thumb|right]]
The Seatac parking garage offers a great spot for photography of airplanes. It is located on the eighth floor on the northwest side of the parking garage. This spot is the only suitable area on the eighth floor to view planes on the tarmac or runway. The eighth floor of the parking garage is used for weekly parking, so if you plan to park in the parking garage, you can do so on floor four, five or six only. Get there early if you plan to take pictures because by 2PM the sun is directly in your eyes. Heat haze in the summertime sets in at around 10-11AM.

===188th Street===

When planes are landing on runways 34R and 34C, 188th Street and 16th AVE offers good spotting opportunities. From this location you can take pictues of planes landing over the 188th Street tunnel. The best time to take pictues from this location is from 3PM to Sunset. Police activity is usually a minimal.

===Golf Course===

To the immediate S. of the airport is the Tyee Valley Golf Course.
Assuming you're not playing a round, there are a couple of spots nearby.
The car park offers views of arrivals on both runways although the trees can get in the way.

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.

==Locations to Avoid==

===Eastern Perimeter===

Pretty much anywhere along here, from the fire station to the FedEx facility is off-limits.
The Port police will respond very quickly to anyone "loitering" around here and move offenders on.

==Official Spotting Locations==

The "Viewpoint Park" overlook on the West side was closed in 2001, and has now disappeared under the 3rd runway.

==Other Spotting Locations==

===Golf Course===

To the immediate S. of the airport is the Tyee Valley Golf Course.
Assuming you're not playing a round, there are a couple of spots nearby.
The car park offers views of arrivals on both runways although the trees can get in the way.

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.

===Water Tank===

To the North of the airport there is a small park at 24th. Ave S. and S146th St. Arriving traffic on the 16L and 16C can be logged and photographed from here. There is room for about 4 cars to park.
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.

===Parking Garage===
[[Image:Northwest N589NW.jpg|thumb|right]]
The Seatac parking garage offers a great spot for photography of airplanes. It is located on the eighth floor on the northwest side of the parking garage. This spot is the only suitable area on the eighth floor to view planes on the tarmac or runway. The eighth floor of the parking garage is used for weekly parking, so if you plan to park in the parking garage, you can do so on floor four, five or six only. Get there early if you plan to take pictures because by 2PM the sun is directly in your eyes. Heat haze in the summertime sets in at around 10-11AM.

==Official Spotting Locations==

The "Viewpoint Park" overlook on the West side was closed in 2001, and has now disappeared under the 3rd runway.

==Other Spotting Locations==

===Golf Course===

To the immediate S. of the airport is the Tyee Valley Golf Course.
Assuming you're not playing a round, there are a couple of spots nearby.
The car park offers views of arrivals on both runways although the trees can get in the way.

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.

===Water Tank===

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.
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.

===Parking Garage===

A good place to spot is on the northwest side on the eighth floor of the Seatac parking garage. The northwest side is the only suitable area on the eighth floor to view planes on the tarmac or runway. The eighth floor of the parking garage is used for weekly parking, so if you plan to park in the parking garage, you can do so on floor four, five or six only. Get there early if you plan to take pictures because by 2PM, the sun is directly in your eyes and heat haze, in the summertime, sets in at around 10-11AM.

King County International Airport is commonly referred to as Boeing Field.

==Official Spotting Locations==

There is no "official" spotting location for Boeing Field, however the Museum of Flight parking lot is the most commonly used.

==Other Spotting Locations==

===Museum of Flight Parking Lot===

This is a great place to spot airplanes arriving on runway 31L.

===East Marginal Way and South 86th Street===

This is another parking lot that offers a great view of the runway 31L/13R. If you take pictures, bring a step ladder or a truck that you can stand on to see over the fence.

==Locations to Avoid==

==Regular Traffic==

Only two passenger airlines serve Boeing Field; Kenmore Air and Helijet. Cargo Airlines such as DHL, UPS, Airborne Express, Global, ATI, and Ameriflight operate daily cargo flights to the airfield. Military planes such as E-3's, C-17's, P-3's, and F/A-18's are commonly seen making fuel stops or getting upgraded electronics. The Boeing Company's new 737NG's are painted, tested, and delivered from this field, and multiple NG's are seen throughout the day.

There is not an "offical" spotting location for Boeing Field, however the Museum of Flight parking lot is the most commenly used.

==Other Spotting Locations==
'''Museum of Flight Parking Lot'''

This is a great place to spot airplanes arriving on runway 31L.

'''East Marginal Way and South 86th Street'''

This is another parking lot that offers a great view of the runway 31L/13R. If you take pictures, bring a step lader or a truck that you can stand on to see over the fence.

==Locations to Avoid==

==Regular Traffic==

Only two passenger airlines that serve Boeing Field; Kenmore Air and Helijet. Cargo Airlnes such as DHL, UPS, Airborne Express, Global, ATI, and Ameriflight operate daily cargo flights to the airfield. Military planes such as E-3's, C-17's, P-3's, and F/A-18's are commenly seen making fuel stops or geting upgraded electronics. The Boeing Company's new 737NG's are painted, tested, and delivered from this field, and multiple NG's are seen throughout the day.

==Official Spotting Locations==

'''None'''

The "Viewpoint Park" overlook on the West side was closed in 2001, and has now disappeared under the 3rd runway.

==Other Spotting Locations==
'''Golf Course'''

To the immediate S. of the airport is the Tyee Valley Golf Course.
Assuming you're not playing a round, there are a couple of spots nearby.
The car park offers views of arrivals on both runways although the trees can get in the way.

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.

'''Water Tank'''

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.
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.

'''Parking Garage'''

A good place to spot is on the northwest side on the eighth floor on the Seatac parking garage. The northwest side is the only suitable area on the eighth floor to view planes on the tarmac or runway. The eighth floor of the parking garage is used for weekly parking, so if you plan to park in the parking garage, you can do so on floor four only.

==Locations to Avoid==

'''Eastern Perimeter'''

Pretty much anywhere along here, from the fire station to the FedEx facility is off-limits.
The Port police will respond very quickly to anyone "loitering" around here and move offenders on.

==Official Spotting Locations==

'''None'''

The "Viewpoint Park" overlook on the West side was closed in 2001, and has now disappeared under the 3rd runway.

==Other Spotting Locations==

===Golf Course===
To the immediate S. of the airport is the Tyee Valley Golf Course.
Assuming you're not playing a round, there are a couple of spots nearby.
The car park offers views of arrivals on both runways although the trees can get in the way.

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.

===Water Tank===
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.
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.

===Parking Garage===
A good place to spot is on the northwest side on the eighth floor on the Seatac parking garage. The northwest side is the only suitable area on the eighth floor to view planes on the tarmac or runway. The eighth floor of the parking garage is used for weekly parking, so if you plan to park in the parking garage, you can do so on floor four only.

==Locations to Avoid==

===Eastern Perimeter===
Pretty much anywhere along here, from the fire station to the FedEx facility is off-limits.
The Port police will respond very quickly to anyone "loitering" around here and move offenders on.

===Cargo===
This used to be a good spot, but the fence is now covered in plastic and "No Trespassing" signs.

==Regular Traffic==
