Narrative:
I [was] en route to rnt airport via the ortin intersection. I had requested flight following from portland approach for initially to 5500' but few moments later asked for 7500' and they grant to me. This was when I was just north of the nbg VOR where I had received my squawk code. I was about abeam or slight south of pdx and the portland departure controller I had asked me if my route route of flight to renton airport via the olympia VOR or direct. My response was negative and that I was enroute to renton via ortin waypoint. Later in the flight...I had switched seattle center frequency roughly near eatonville and asked for descent from 7500'to 5500' they granted my request. Moments later I hear you have entered the 'seattle's class bravo airspace without authorization' and moments after that transmission I hear 'radar services terminated'. I had never asked to cancel flight following. I rapidly descended to avoid the [controlled] airspace restrictions.
