Geocache Description:

This cache is a 3 on the difficulty rating because it is a nano. Look at the picture so you know what to expect.

Your GPSr signal will likely be bouncing around when you're here, so it may be helpful to visit Google Maps (Satellite View) or Microsoft Live Map (Bird's Eye View). The coordinates are exact, and you can pinpoint the location on the map.



Small caches aren't my favorite but it's tough to hide anything large in downtown Seattle. GPS reception is lousy among the tall buildings so I am making it easy to get to the general area of the cache. It is located near the Seattle Veterans' Museum

The museum's website goes down sometimes so the link won't work and the images on this page will be gone. It doesn't impact the hunt!

Log Tips:
-The cap unscrews, even though it may not seem like it.

-PLEASE ONLY SIGN USING YOUR INITIALS. This logsheet is tiny!

-Please be sensitive to your surroundings - no digging or unscrewing is necessary, and you'll know when you have the cache in hand.

The Museum's Mission: To honor and thank our Veterans and educate the Puget Sound community about the sacrifices our Veterans have made for our freedoms.

The museum is open Friday and Saturday, 10AM - 5PM, but it doesn't need to be open for you to find the cache.

Feel free to post a picture of your beloved veteran.

You can easily log the following waymarks during this caching adventure:

Benaroya Hall in Concert Halls
Benaroya Hall Garden of Rememberance in Non-Specific Veteran Memorials
Benaroya Hall Entrance Fountain in Fountains

These are the waymarks that I submitted in the area:

Seattle Tower in Art Deco - Art Nouveau
WaMu - Washington Mutual Bank, Seattle, WA - in Publicly Held Corporation Headquarters
WaMu Center - in Skyscrapers


Congratulations to the two cachers who shared the "first to find": sciuchetti and rodgowdy !!!
