Where NOT to Fly a Drone in Seattle
Be extra careful if you plan to fly near these places in Seattle
--
Seattle is home to the Space Needle, The Museum of Flight, Bill Gates and much more. With only 164 sunny or partly sunny days each year on average, residents of the area may not have the best flying conditions for most of the year. Nonetheless, we at Hivemapper want to help drone flyers to be aware of their location and fly in accordance with the regulations.
Hivemapper highlights two areas around each airport — the five-mile radius, which is the large purple outer circle, and the two-mile radius, which is the small inner circle. As an example, below is our map showing both purple rings for Seattle Airport.
The Seattle Area is known for its often cloudy weather, good seafood and the best coffee in the world. While flying around Seattle, it is important to know the rules before taking off.
