This letterbox hybrid was placed with permission and is full of (and surrounded by) treasure, especially if you're a lover of books. It's a safe place for trackables. There is no employee interaction or purchase necessary to find this cache, but questions and conversation are welcomed.
NOTE: this cache is only available while the library is open so please note the hours of operation.
Follow the instructions (or waypoints) to collect the information needed to locate the letterbox which can be found at call number ABC.D in the main collection.Â
At the posted coordinates, find the plaque for The King and Queen of Rainier Beach to determine the numeric values for A & B.Â
   A = number of letters in the artist's last nameÂ
   B = year of dedication digital root [example: 2 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 8]Â
Continue north along the sidewalk passing purple pawns and a peace pole until you reach WP2. Use the information on the The Pursuit of Knowledge placard to determine the last two numbers.Â
   C = number of letters in artist's last nameÂ
   D = third digit in the year of dedication (top row)Â
Next, walk twenty paces to the nearby building where you'll find the letterbox located at ABC.D inside! A stamp is provided but you'll need to bring your own ink. Please observe all posted signage and if you have the time, stick around to appreciate all this community space has to offer. 📚Â
About the Rainier Beach Library
The Rainier Beach Branch originally opened in 1912, benefiting from a Carnegie grant, like many other libraries of its era. The new Rainier Beach Branch was opened in the 1990s, featuring a design that reflected the community's cultural diversity and provided a modern, welcoming space for learning and gathering.Â
