Spotting locations

Terminal Parking Garage (upper floors)
10L/28R, 10R/28L
Offers a full view of the north runway with a Columbia River backdrop, ramp views of Concourse E, and partial views of the south runway, ANG base, and Alaska/Horizon ramp at Concourses A & B; the south side of the 7th floor now only has a partial southwest view due to a 2021 building blocking sightlines. It's a paid garage (~$3/hour), no boarding pass needed, and spotters are generally not bothered by staff or law enforcement.
Marine Drive (northern perimeter road)
10L
A public road with a pedestrian/bike lane along the airport's northern perimeter and the Columbia River; near the Runway 10L threshold the path rises onto a berm giving a view over the fence of arriving and departing aircraft. Free access, with good vantage points near the beginning, middle, and end of the runway; best light from sunrise to ~10:30 AM and 7:30 PM till sundown.
