How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:


This is a continuation of the original cache that was placed here in 2010 and was archived after 14 years early in 2024. It was archived because of accidental failed maintenance and communication by the cache owner. When it was archived, the cache had 1,151 finds and six favorites. And, the cache is back (with just a little twist from the original)!

You are looking for a nano located in the heart of Capitol Hill. Please use extreme stealth when searching and bring your own writing implement.

Geocaching guidelines prevent us from specifically naming this bookstore, but Seattleites (& many throughout the world) will know the name instantly. The store was founded in 1973 and in 1976 moved to a location in Pioneer Square where it remained until a recent move in 2010 to this location. 

The cache is a typical urban find, which will require sharp eyes, stealth, your own writing implement and your geosenses! The coordinates were checked with Google maps as best as possible, but please offer any other suggestions to the cache owner if you feel it would enhance the cache! Difficulty is increased to 2 because of the muggle factor.

Enjoy and happy hunting!!
