Narrative:
Possibly entered floor of sea class B airspace (while departing the field) without permission from seattle approach/departure control. Flew from bfi field to 058 airport with the transponder 'off.' although there's no excuse for my inattn, I did have to deal with quelling fears of passenger on-board that were new to flying. I won't be so easily distracted again!
