An unusual puzzle in a tiny, charming, little-known waterfront park, full of poetic and historic perspective.

This is one of Seattle's truly unique 'hidden' parks. Many nearby residents don't even know of it's existence, but it's a great place to enjoy the canal, a particular view of the city, and an amazing amount of historical information artistically built into the park itself.

When you reach the coordinates:
look for THIS SITE and then do your LAUNDRY. For a snack, have a BIG CRACKER at GASWORKS, unless people will think you too ECCENTRIC since your DOG GEAR is made of WOOD. Check the WATER LEVEL from here to PORTAGE BAY, then cross the road to AURORA and look at the WOODEN BRIDGE. Exit the cul-de-sac in order to make your way to the WESTLAKE TRESTLE, then make a long hop to INTERBAY. From INTERBAY, it’s only 5 paces to WOODINVILLE, and, passing WOODINVILLE it won’t be long before you’ll see an APPARITION and hear FROG SONGS. Follow a SUBTERRANEAN PASSAGE to where they CLEANSED THEMSELVES. Understand that TO THEM, this WATER WAS HALLOWED. Be THE FIRST to take two long strides to the center of LAKE UNION. Standing at the center of the lake, walk 10 feet in the direction of THE TRACKS to meet John and Madeline, the keepers of our cache.

Cache Logs

June 2 by DibsNot (171 found) Have to log this DNF because I saw it was close by and wandered over. Didn't have any of the information with me so was not prepared to find. But this is a cool place so I'll be back, armed with the info to nab. [view this log]

May 21 by NBJPoppa (1961 found) Dropped by this evening at 9:38 PM to swap Travel Bugs, but none were to be found in the cache. Missing TB274DX - Wizard [view this log]

May 20 by AirRanger (76 found) I hadn't looked too well into the cache description, so when we (I brought a - now infected muggle friend) arrived at the site, I believed the pictures from the description were missing on my paperless device ! So we skipped this one - just to find out back home that everything had been well - doh ...! TFTC! AirRanger ==o== (Germany) [view this log]

May 18 by vanornum6103 (34 found) Must be some awfully clever students at PSCS! Soooo well constructed and totally clever use of the surroundings make this a super pleasing riddle and cache. John and Madeline would be proud... [view this log]

May 13 by Affe und Igel (520 found) Was right in the area before, but passed as it seemed like the mileage on this one would be too great. A bump from a friend showed that this one would be feasible and today managed to complete and find with no problems. Cool idea, thanks. [view this log]
