KBFI sits in Seattle, Washington. Field elevation is 21.6 ft MSL. The airport has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is 10,007 ft on 14R/32L. The tower is open 24 hours. Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runway ends 14R and 32L.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts for this field. The published remarks do give runway-specific values. Use 1,000 ft MSL for 14L/32R. Use 800 ft MSL for 14R/32L. That matters here because the two sides are not the same. Boeing Field is busy. Expect a lot of helicopter training on taxiway B. VFR pilots should review and expect VFR procedures before arrival and departure.
Three on-field FBOs are listed. Signature Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. Skyservice carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Modern Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. Taxiway A1 and taxiway A from A1 to A3 are restricted by weight and wingspan. Runway 32L also has nearby fence, road, poles and railroad tracks within the east edge of the primary surface. That is worth keeping in mind on final. General aviation transient parking is available. Contact airport operations before you go if you need a spot.
