The Broadcast House Helistop (FAA LID: 8WA9) is a rooftop heliport located atop the Fisher Plaza complex (now KOMO Plaza) near the Space Needle. It primarily supports the newsgathering operations of KOMO-TV and radio stations, allowing for the rapid deployment of news choppers to cover breaking stories around the Puget Sound region.
Its central location in the Uptown neighborhood provides immediate airspace access for aerial journalism. The facility is equipped to handle light helicopters used for traffic reporting and electronic news gathering, playing a crucial role in local media infrastructure.
