I 'get' your random questions! A lot depends on your approach and where you're coming from. If you're coming from the south/east you'll want the left side, you might get to see Mt. St. Helen's, Mt. Rainier, Puget Sound and the Olympic Pennisula. But sometimes the planes will circle over the Sound and land from the north end. Everything worth seeing will be west. Most flights leave heading north, then circle, depending on where you're headed, from my experience. Hope you have a great flight.
