Film/production crew working right now (B-roll?) at Chihuly glass museum (right below the space needle). Red and yellow signs are up in relatively conspicuous places.

Looks like each racer has to walk in a circle, counter-clockwise, around top of Space Needle.  Six people seen doing it.  No picking up flags along the way or anything that I could see.  Teams seem back to back to back.

Pretty sure the helicopter has to do with us, it's been flying around for the past 20 minutes and is occasionally stood still in the same spot for a few minutes at a time while facing the tower while people are on the roof.

Obviously you can't see who is there but you can definitely see movement so thought I would grab some clips (apologies for the mouse, it was hard to control the live stream and screen record at once!)

Via Linda our on the ground wonderwoman:

So recap, the teams went up into the space needle – that order was the brothers, then, the father, son, then the beards

when they came down, they went around the corner to the Chihuly Garden. That order was father, son, brothers, who ended up going the wrong direction at first, and then several minutes later, the beards, who ended up going the wrong direction and went in from another gate.

When they left, they ran to their cars, got a map and then went by where the clue box was to look at the Maps. The departure order was father son immediately followed by the beards, then about five minutes later the brothers.

A team was spotted last night a little after 11 pm with a "small model kenmore air seaplane" in their hands. Most likely that was one of those "use this to find your next location." Anyone familiar with Seattle know where that could've been pointing to?

Credit to Reddit User Pure-Bottle-4326: At around 12:20am Garrett/Joel pulled into the Shell gas station at 720 Taylor Avenue and asked for directions. The user said they were coming from Lake Union and needed directions to West Point Lighthouse
So that confirms that the model plane was for the Lake Union which might've been the final memory task. The lighthouse sounds like a finish line to me.

With the new info, I think this is roughly what the leg looked like last night (cropped out the airport to make things a bit more easier to see). I think, however, that there may still be one missing location between the Showbox and the Lake Union just because there was a roughly hour and a half gap between the Showbox sighting and the sighting of the team with the model plane

Seattle International Airport
Seattle Space Needle
Chihuly Glass Garden
Seattle Glassblowing Studio
The Showbox
Kenmore Air Lake Union
West Point Lighthouse (EDIT: I've been told this isn't the finish line)

Some more pieces of the puzzle, thanks to the helicopter:

https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N350WW/history/20230708/0451Z/KBFI/KAWO
The copter landed at approx 8:30 PDT after circling the Space Needle.  An hour later, however, it takes off again, and makes its way to the Kenmore Air Seaplane Base up in Kenmore.  It circled there for around 10 minutes or so, between 9:35 and 9:45 approx. before landing again.

https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N350WW/history/20230707/2335Z/KAWO/KBFI
Earlier that day, before teams arrived in Seattle, it looks like the copter was roaming around, presumably shooting some daytime footage to be edited in.
Looks like it first flies down from Arlington Municipal (where it eventually ends up that night) and down to the Kenmore Air Seaplane Base.  Then, it flies south to the University of Washington's campus and circles around the Huskies' football stadium (finish line, anyone???).  Then, it flies up Fremont Cut, up the shore to Golden Gardens Park, then down the coast past West Point Lighthouse.  It then heads towards downtown, over the professional stadiums, then circles around the Space Needle a time or two.  It then circles Lake Union, before heading down the west coast of Lake Washington, before heading down Duwamish Waterway to SeaTac.

So, unaccounted places that seem to have been of importance to the helicopter: Kenmore Air Base (specifically in the second half of the 9pm hour) and UW's Huskies' football stadium.

Finish line is at a mansion so no. Could've been another location this leg tho or just standard B-roll

Seattle International Airport
Seattle Space Needle
Chihuly Glass Garden
Seattle Glassblowing Studio
The Showbox
Kenmore Air Lake Union
West Point Lighthouse (EDIT: I've been told this isn't the finish line)

Perhaps from Showbox, they are directed to the Kenmore base up in Kenmore. (That time frame is about right from the helicopter circling, especially if a team was slightly ahead.). Then, they caught a seaplane down to Lake Union.  Maybe even circled above the Huskies stadium for some sort of aerial task (if the Huskies stadium was A) used, and B) not a finish line or on-the-ground task location).  Then, they landed at Lake Union to continue.

“So that's what I stumbled upon hehe, I made a post about that and was wondering :

About 15 minutes ago I was getting some gas and a car with 4 people pulled into the parking lot and was asking around for directions. It was two guys plus a camera and sound person. I was nearby and pulled out my phone and they asked to use it while they wrote down directions for a few minutes.

While the two guys were using my phone the sound person gave me some paperwork to sign and said if I wanted to be shown on TV I had to put my signature.

Then when they were done using my phone they were out of there. They seemed pretty stressed and in a rush and mentioned they could win a million dollars tonight so I'm not sure what to think hehe”

That looks like Clise Mansion in Redmond. I noticed the blue sign and windows were matching.

Looks like it was a red herring. We see Greg/John reading out the classic "(This is it.) Go! Go! Go!" from the clue at Kenmore Air, and when we see Joel/Garrett asking for directions at the Jack in the Box just across the road, they figure to take I-405 South, which goes towards Clise Mansion, not West Point Lighthouse.

We don't see any gaps in this leg to fit in a West Point Lighthouse clue either:
- Teams go to the Space Needle based on the scale model in their car
- Teams are seen figuring out the scramble locations at the Space Needle
- The end of the scramble sends teams directly to Kenmore Air

So either Joel/Garrett got lost along the way (doesn't seem like it based on how they retained their lead going to Kenmore Air), or this was a false spoiler?

Edit: There's no way there could have been a fourth scramble location and a fourth plane part, right?
