Geocache Description:

In the tradition of the Seattle FTF Bell, the first to find this cache wins the honor of draping its dainty tinkle upon their person and assumes responsibility for re-hiding it in a new cache. You will NOT find the cache at the posted coordinates, but you will find the first public art museum in Washington State.

This is a springtime cache in celebration of color conquering grey. If you've gone anywhere around Seattle in the last five years, it's very likely that you've encountered a mural by this prolific artist. Do you remember where it was? Locate the spots from where we observed the following murals and you will find the cache hidden at the center of them. All of the murals are outdoors and plainly visible from public road or sidewalk.

The Henry Art Gallery

The cache has been placed on public property with approval from the neighbor. The number of muggles in this area fluctuates greatly depending on day and time. At peak times, discretion will be a challenge. Play safe, be considerate of the neighbors, and preserve the integrity of the cache by using your best judgement.

~ FTF honor goes to PippiLongstockings, the Champion Thing-Finder ~
