Geocache Description:


This can be a quick grab from car or light-rail.  STart is the acronym for Sound Transit's art program, which has artworks from nationally known and local public artists all round the Link lightrail stations.  On the Central Link in South Seattle at Othello station there are 3 art installations, Augusta Asberry's Come Dance With Me consists of a series of steel cut figures of African dancers.  Roger Shimamura's Rainier Valley Haiku is a 13ft tall "Totem Pole" design including 4 haiku and various objects.  If you are arriving by train at this station try to spot one of the everyday objects carved in to the granite stormwater channels along both sides of the platform.  A sandwich, a cell phone, chinese take-out, a book and glasses case, a car are a part of artist Brian Goldbloom's Stormwater Project . 

The cache container also appears to be an everyday object and is near (but not on or even within 10 feet) the Totem pole.  It is a micro with only room for a log. 

Please place the container exactly as found and be discreet as the muggle factor can be high.
