Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Wallingford Branch of the Seattle Public Library! 

-----------------------------------------------

This is Multi-Cache is only available when the library is open. 

 

Before your visit, refer to the Wallingford Branch website to ensure the library is open.

-----------------------------------------------

Instructions

This Multi-Cache begins outside the library; begin your search there. 

The posted coordinates will bring you to a street sign. Examine the sign for a clue about the cache's location inside the library. After gathering what you need, head to the waypoint, Library Entrance, to enter the library and find the second and final stage.

When inside the library, avoid asking the librarians for help; if you need assistance, feel free to ask for a Dewey Decimal guide.

The geocache has been placed with permission so don't be shy about sitting at a table to sign the log. 

There's an unactivated Travel Bug and bison tube inside the cache for the FTF. Congratulations to Phoenix48 for the FTF!
