Two left turns out of the terminal onto Canora Rd. leads to the East hangars. The main road curves right leaving a small cul-de-sac. This overlooks the helicopter base, the FBO ramp and the threshold of 27. Good spotting and photography from here, but no facilities - the locals bring their cars. A step ladder may help for photographers as the fence is quite high. | Two left turns out of the terminal onto Canora Rd. leads to the East hangars.

A park in Sidney near the Anacordes ferry, across the road from the Cedarwood Inn & Suites. No runways are viewable here, but traffic landing on 27 or taking off on 09 are viewable. You'll mostly get underside shots of the aircraft, but with decent positioning side shots are possible. Benches, bathrooms, and water. | |||

Turn right out of the terminal. The Forests base is located here and occasional air tankers are present in season. The Air Force has a hangar full of geriatric Sea Kings but it is firmly shut most of the time, in which case some taxiing shots of 09 traffic can be had from the parking lot. | Turn right out of the terminal.
