    As you can see from this map the trails around the airport are municipal trails and thus public property. Shoot away and let Boeing security jump up an down all they want. You're perfectly within your rights to take pictures from those areas. BTW, there's a McDonalds just southwest of the Renton airport. Really doesn't have much to do with spotting, but if you get hungry...

    Yes, but just because you can doesn't mean its a good idea. Locals largely leave that spot alone because we don't want Boeing to harass us elsewhere.

    It's about ethics and etiquette, not rights and entitlements
