One For The Dogs Multi-Cache
Curious Joe: Went and had a good look around tonight and while I could have probably done something different here, I have decided the dogs have had their day.

Edmonds is not known for its dog parks, but this is the one exception. This area of Marina Beach Park is the one area along the Edmonds waterfront where dogs are allowed and is an off-leash area. We bring our Corgi here. Bring your dog or at least your dog tolerance and enjoy. Park closes at dusk.
The starting coordinates for this multi-cache bring you to the gate to the dog park. This area used to be a Unocal bulk fuel terminal and the remains of it and its pier are still in place. It stopped being used in 1991 and the area was sold to the city of Edmonds in 2001.
BEFORE you enter the gate, there is a nearby (55 ft away) yellow object often associated with dogs. The coordinates are listed in the "Additional Waypoints" below. The year it was made is = ABBC
D = A + C
E = C + 1
Now enter the dog park (please shut the gate behind you) and go to WP1, located at N 47 48.ADB W 122 23.DED
At this location you will find two signs. The first sign reads "No Fires Allowed". Below the first sign there is a 10 word sign (clarification: count the hyphenated word(s) as two words) we'll use to determine the final coordinates.
The sixth word of the sign starts and ends with the same letter. That letter is the (F) letter of the alphabet.
The second, third and fifth words of the sign end with the same letter. That letter is the (G) letter of the alphabet.
The word "scoop" is the (H) word of the sign.
The final is located at N 47 48.FGC W 122 23.DHF
Please open it from the bottom.
