Waiting for Logs Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Jeremy: I went to check on the cache today and unfortunately it is no longer there. A homeless camp moved in right next to the tree and it isn't a great place to have the container now. The cache has had a great run so I'm going to go ahead and archive it. Thanks for everyone who sought this one out!

Geocache Description:

Many of you probably recognize the artwork in the photos below. If you do, you'll need to do a little mapping to deduce the final coordinates for this cache.


If you have driven around Seattle much, you will probably recognize these iconic sculptures. They are often dressed up to celebrate various events. Your task is to note the relationship between the two sculptures, in bearing (degrees true) and distance (miles). Let the bearing from the northern sculpture to the southern sculpture be xyz degrees (round to the nearest whole degree). Let the distance between the two sculptures be a.b miles (round to the nearest tenth of a mile). 

Once you've got those numbers, subtract xyz from the decimal minutes of the posted latitude to get the latitude of the final. Also, subtract ab (ignore the decimal) from the posted longitude to get the longitude of the final. 

Although not required to log this cache, if you can, please post a photo of either sculpture if it is dressed up. The northern sculpture is more frequently costumed and is much easier to photograph, but the southern sculpture can also be decorated.  

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.
