Local attractions here in the tiny seaside town of Union, population 631, include a working farm and roadside market, a golf course, marinas and public boat launch sites, the deep saltwater fjord of Hood Canal and the 2018 Olympic Peninsula GeoTour geocache hidden around here somewhere! Now, where could it be? Marina, Market, or somewhere else on this corner? Visitors come to the area for activities including boating, fishing, hunting, shell fishing, sea kayaking and birding.
At this corner is the WA Historical Marker #7 – Hood Canal. You can find interpretive historical highway markers along state highways and scenic byways throughout Washington. Historic markers are our windows to the past. They educate us, they make us curious to investigate, or they provide a nice excuse to take a break and stretch our legs while we read what happened here. The National Register of Historic Places is an official listing of historically significant sites and properties throughout the country.
This cache, as are many in this 2018 Olympic Peninsula GeoTour, is placed to entice you out to see the Olympic Peninsula and all of the sights that are worthy of a look, a stop, a wander, even maybe a hike while you search out the geocache! Find all 21 caches in the Olympic Peninsula GeoTour and your reward is being able to soak up all the beauty of the Olympic Peninsula. Oh, and claim the fabulous trackable coin. If all the coins have been claimed before December 31, 2018, you still have an opportunity to win a grand prize trip to the Olympic Peninsula!
