With
all that said, cache on! 😃
WSGA20 - 48N - 19 - Semiahmoo Spit is hidden along a beach trail on the west side of Semiahmoo Spit. The shortest way to GZ is by parking at the parking coordinates and following the public trail between the buildings on the west side of the road.
The name of the spit is from the Semiahmoo band of Native Americans and means "half-moon" or "water all around".
With Semiahmoo Bay and the Straight of Georgia on one side, the protected Drayton Harbor on the other, and views of Mount Baker and the Twin Sisters mountains in the distance, Semiahmoo Spit offers 360 degrees of the Pacific Northwest.
Semiahmoo Spit is a popular location for birdwatchers especially in the winter months and during the fall and spring migrations.
In September 2002, a group of 19 concerned geocachers scheduled a meeting after hearing that the Washington State Parks was considering banning geocaches in the state park system. Out of this meeting, the Washington State Geocaching Association (WSGA) was "born" with its core values of promoting geocaching as a fun, family-oriented outdoor activity that increases awareness and appreciation of the environment and our parks and trails, provide opportunities for participants to enjoy geocaching and to socialize with other geocaches, educate park systems and land managers about geocaching and its benefits, increase awareness and support of the geocaching through interaction with other outdoor groups and the public, encourage low-impact geocaching and promote stewardship of our natural resources, and support "Cache In Trash Out" activities to help maintain parks and trail systems.
In 2022, the WSGA turns 20 years young. To celebrate this milestone, the WSGA is hosting a 20th-anniversary GeoTour. This GeoTour will give you the opportunity to travel to all corners of the Evergreen State while you search for 140 GeoTour caches. To make it easier to tackle such a large GeoTour, each of our 7 regional chapters will host 20 chapter-specific geocaches in bite-sized GeoTours with the entire GeoTour consisting of 140 caches. To learn more about our GeoTour, please visit the GeoTour page on our website which you can find HERE. We hope that you enjoy getting back out on the road while touring around Washington State.
