    Seattle Frequencies,

    So I am getting ready for the trip down to seattle tomorrow to catch some of the aircraft coming in down there. I have looked at the frequencies list and was wondering what frequencies do they use the most of for arrivals. They have so many there that its kind of confusing consdiering the airport I usually spot at has one arrivals, one tower, one ground and so forth. Thanks for this last minute bit of info.

    Re: Seattle Frequencies,

    Matt...you can either catch most of it on Seattle center...or you can have the scanner go through the approach frequencies. I'd predict a southbound flow for tomorrow which will mean action on the 16's for SeaTac. I don't do the radio thing very much, so I can't be of too much help here :-/

    Re: Seattle Frequencies,

    Since it is Saturday yes, I know QX and AS run a very reduced schedule especially after 1600 or so.
    SEA Freq are-
    Tower 119.9
    Ground 121.7
    North Ramp 126.875
    South Ramp 122.275
    With a north flow Dep is 120.1
    Approach will be 119.2

    For BFI-
    Tower 118.3
    Ground 121.9
    Boeing Ops 123.475
    If you would like QX ops frequency om me and I'll share that with you but it is only good near the airport. All you here is them call in there ETA and get there parking and where the plane is heading. So nothing too exciting.

    Hope those help!!!

    Re: Seattle Frequencies,

    honestly for me as of late it all has been up to the weather to decide my fate. Today looks very cloudy and there is nothing going on at BFI so just gonna head for work might shoot for a few on a break but like I said sat is a reduced schedule at QX so extremely slow.

    Re: Seattle Frequencies,

    Thanks guys again for the tips on frequencies. Despite the weather, I must say that it was still worth coming down to take some photos. Hopefully next time will be sunnier.
