===Location===
===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.
