If you are here during opening hours the Arb Visitors Center can answer all your plant questions. Another bathroom in back. This cache will require stealth as this is a popular spot especially in the summer months. In the winter, sometimes you have the whole park to yourself. Watch for coyotes and owls along the main road…

The Washington Park Arboretum (https://botanicgardens.uw.edu/washington-park-arboretum/) saved me during the pandemic and continues to be a source of wonder and beauty during every season. This series, which covers some of my most treasured routes, was placed with permission if it involved no sensitive plant or off-trail trampling – there is no need to step on anything green except a bit of walking grass in a few spots. The walk from the first cache to the last cache and back takes approximately 60 minutes, not including search time. With thanks to all the series CO’s from all over the world that provided fun and exploration of beautiful spaces to our family during the summer of 2024 and allowed us to get to our 1000th cache! Lastly, my geocaching philosophy is it should not take more than 5 mins to find a cache. I have left telling hints for each cache for those who want an easy find.
