It's a long shot, but less than 10km out of the way on the commute. Drive by on the way home.
Expedition
Nice day, slightly warm, but windy towards evening in the Seattle graticule. I work in Bothell and the drive north to Mukilteo is not directly on the commute, but not far off it. Driving up the Mukilteo Speedway also gives me the chance to stop at Phoenix Games - I ended up buying a 50% off game for a friend.
The road leading to the closest point is also the one leading to the Aviation museum. This is a recommended stop, though I could not afford the time today.
The point was indeed inside the fence by several feet. I watched a pair of touch-and-go's and spotted a Dreamliner on the other side of the complex. By adjusting a scrap of tape, I was able to leave a flyer in the fence. While this could be littering, the flyer was far more biodegradable than the doritos wrapper I scooped up, so I think this was a net plus for the environment.
Snapped another photo and headed home. Expedition success, did not reach the point.
