Seattle Class Bravo VFR Transitions over KSEA.

There are two VFR transitions over KSEA: Seahawk and Mariner. Seahawk is used when in south flow. Mariner is used when in north flow. 

The following is a scenario between a VFR aircraft requesting the SEAHAWK transition, WEST to EAST. 

N734LQ: “Seattle Tower, Cessna N734LQ, 10 miles west at 2,500 feet requesting the Seahawk transition.”

• On the STARs scope type "N734LQ C172 025"

SEA_TWR: "N734LQ, Seattle Tower squawk 2244."

N734LQ resets transponder to squawk 2244

STARs will auto-track the aircraft. The controller then approves a point-out with S46. ("S46, Seattle Local, pointout. N734LQ 10 west of SEA VFR transition eastbound at 2,500." or do an automated pointout by following the Google slide below

SEA_TWR: “N734LQ, radar contact 9 miles west of KSEA. Cleared through the Seattle-Tacoma Class Bravo Airspace via the Seahawk transition, maintain VFR at 2,500. SEA altimeter 29.94; report clear of the Bravo to the east.”

give traffic advisories as needed while you are providing radar services to the pilot

Also, point that traffic out to anyone landing at KSEA "ASA2319 traffic is a C172 overflying the field at 2,500 VFR eastbound"

pilot reports clear of the Class Bravo flying along the assigned/requested transition route

SEA_TWR: “N734LQ, resume own navigation, remain clear of the Seattle-Tacoma Class Bravo airspace, radar service terminated, squawk VFR, frequency change approved."

"F4 <slew>" to drop the track

Remember, approving or denying VFR requests, like transitions, is based on controller workload. Requests shall not be denied unless there is a situation that genuinely demands it, let VFR aircraft enjoy the freedom provided to them by nice weather. Have fun!
