Geocache Description:


Lake People Park (Xacua'bs)

This half-acre of forested land provides views north to downtown Seattle and east to the Cascades. It also preserves a green oasis just blocks from Rainier Ave. S. A flat area at the top of the park includes benches and boulders to sit on and a picnic table. Follow the trails to read interpretive signs that help identify native plants. The park incorporates a walkway and public stairs in the Bradford St. unopened right-of-way, connecting the residential neighborhood at the top of the hill with the Rainier commercial district at the bottom of the hill.

The park name reflects the historical presence of the Duwamish tribe in this area of the city. Xacua'bs (pronounced hah-chu-ABSH) means "Lake People."

Cache seekers (hold harmless the cache owner) and assumes all risks, responsibilities, and mental condition involved in seeking this and any cache. I use a Teslin based waterproof paper in a lot of my caches. Please make sure you come prepared with the correct writing utensil. Such as a pencil or a space pen Ink your moniker in the space provided. Initials and stamps are OK " Watch a YouTube video here on how to properly sign waterproof paper. Please observe the park hours. Park is closed from 11:30PM-4AM However it would not be prudent to look for this cache after dark due to the vicinty of houses.
