Drones

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (more commonly known as "drones") are quickly emerging as key marketing tools for events and event sponsors.  With their potential for live streaming events to digital audiences, capturing unique content and delivering exclusive viewpoints, drones are all the rage in concept - but are still a work in progress in practicality and government permitting. 

Drone use at special events generally requires a City of Seattle Master Film Permit. Review the information on the film permitting pages to learn more.

No drone use is allowed in City of Seattle Parks.
