Which side of the plane to sit from Boeing Field King County International Airport (Seattle) to William R Fairchild International Airport (Port Angeles)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the rugged peaks of the Olympic National Park and the narrow, winding waters of the Hood Canal.
Seattle Skyline
Immediate aerial view of the Space Needle and downtown skyscrapers after departing Boeing Field.
Puget Sound Ferries
Watch the iconic green and white ferries crossing the water between Seattle and Bainbridge Island.
Bremerton Naval Base
Spot massive aircraft carriers and naval vessels docked at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.
Olympic Mountains
Breathtaking views of Mt. Olympus and the jagged snow-capped peaks of the Olympic Range.
Hood Canal
The long, fjord-like natural waterway separating the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas.
Sit on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the Olympic Mountains. Look down early in the flight for the best view of the Seattle waterfront and Elliott Bay.
Mount Baker
On clear days, the massive glaciated dome of this volcano dominates the northern horizon.
Whidbey Island
Extensive views of the rural landscapes and rugged coastlines of the largest island in the Sound.
Admiralty Inlet
The main shipping channel where massive cargo ships enter the Puget Sound from the Pacific Ocean.
Vancouver Island
Across the Strait of Juan de Fuca, you can see the coastline of British Columbia, Canada.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights to catch the orange glow over the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Keep an eye out for orcas or grey whales in the shipping lanes during the summer months.
