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

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.

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

--- Quote from: Jjw26 on July 08, 2023, 07:08:23 PM ---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)

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.
