Radar	Distance	Lowest beam over Port Gamble Tribal Community	View
KATX Seattle/Tacoma, WA	24 mi north	1,400 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KLGX Langley Hill, WA	88 mi southwest	8,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KRTX Portland, OR	149 mi south	17,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
