Left side into Seattle. You'll usually go up over the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and over a whole lot of nothing in eastern Nevada. The approach takes you on a very close, low level ride by Mt Rainier on both the northbound or southbound approaches.

EDIT: If you're on the left into Seattle and they're landing south on the 16s, you won't get a downtown view. Right side is best for downtown. My preference is the Rainier view any day of the week. On departure, left side again will get great views if you're going to PHX/LAS or if you're going to Northern CA you'll get the whole Cascade range on the left. Enjoy the sight seeing!

Not much on your ride from Pittsburgh to Phoenix though.
