Geocache Description:

Redmond Rain . . . Can Be a Puzzle.

The posted coordinates are in the middle of the Sammamish River. There is no container there. This was originally a "Regular" but is now a "Small/Micro", -- a "preform" which looks like a plastic test tube. I didn't want to change the attributes as people may count on them for challenges they have completed.

FTF: Congrats to DrTusk and Shaddow!

Somewhere not far from where you are sitting, you can find 15 fun facts about Redmond's drinking water supply. Reading them might bring enlightenment. Here is a sneak peak . . .

Drinking water can be supplied by streams, lakes, man-made impoundments, or can be pumped out of the ground. About 1/3 of Redmond's drinking water supply comes from a shallow groundwater aquifer located in the heart of our downtown and extending east towards Novelty and Union Hill. That is kind of a funny place for a city to keep its drinking water supply. Of course, when the City was founded, the City fathers didn’t really envision the kind of development that we have today, and we can’t really move the location of the City or of the drinking water aquifer.
