Confused by the graphic and textual format of the chins STAR to sea (although planning to land at bfi; an 'airport also served' by the arrival) the captain of a G200 crossed raddy at 11;000 as charted for arrivals landing bfi on runway 31. Unfortunately; runway 13 was his runway of intended landing which requires crossing raddy at 16;000 ft and at an IAS 20 KTS faster than designated for a runway 31 landing.

Narrative:
As we leveled off at 11;000 ft [ATC asked us to verify] that we were leveling at 11;000. This made us check why he would ask and we realized that I had misread the descent profile. The center controller had cleared us to 'descend via' the chins arrival landing south and I saw the note at raddy intersection showing that aircraft landing at boeing field cross at 250 KTS and 11;000 ft.what I had missed was that it showed that this was for runway 31. All I concentrated on was the ''landing boeing field' note. Since we were landing south; we should have crossed raddy at 16;000; but this restriction is in the same note as another landing north note and in a separate box from the boeing field box. I would like to see an addition to the boeing field box that clarifies that boeing field aircraft also need to cross raddy at 16;000 ft. I should have also briefed the descent better with the co-pilot; but I thought it was simply the raddy at 11;000 ft crossing.there was not a conflict with any other traffic.

The Center Controller had cleared us to 'descend via' the Chins Arrival landing south and I saw the note at RADDY Intersection showing that aircraft landing at Boeing Field cross at 250 KTS and 11;000 FT.What I had missed was that it showed that this was for Runway 31. All I concentrated on was the ''Landing Boeing Field' note. Since we were landing south; we should have crossed RADDY at 16;000; but this restriction is in the same note as another Landing North note and in a separate box from the Boeing Field box. I would like to see an addition to the Boeing Field box that clarifies that Boeing Field aircraft also need to cross RADDY at 16;000 FT.
