So, where can you fly drones in public? Some spots include:
• King County’s Marymoor Park, in Redmond, where an area is set aside for model-aircraft flying. But the site is managed by the Marymoor Radio Control Club (mar-c.org), which you must join ($40 a year) before flying, and there are several other hoops through which to jump.
• Flaming Geyser State Park, Auburn, which also has a flying site and a club that manages the area (geyserflyers.org) and requires training and certification.
• National forests. While national parks are off-limits, national forests, for the most part, are not, if you stay out of designated wilderness areas and follow Forest Service guidelines.
• Some school-athletic fields (check before you fly). Seattle Public Schools grounds, for example, are open to public use when there are no official school activities underway. There’s no rule prohibiting drone use, spokeswoman Kim Schmanke said. “We are mindful of the growing use of drones, however, and may review administrative rules and procedures in the future.”
