This cache was started in recognition of Bothell Preservation Week, beginning on May 5, 2003. It is maintained by the City of Bothell and was put together with the support of the Landmark Preservation Board. This cache will take you on a historic walking tour of Bothell, that includes some of the historic buildings that have been preserved.
Consider biking, or rollerblading this cache. Strollers could make it, but it is about a two mile long loop. YOU WILL NEED TO ANSWER THE VIRTUAL CACHE QUESTIONS IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE COORDINATES TO THE FINAL CACHE, so take along a pen.
The final cache is an ammo box. All other waypoints are virtual.
Original contents included logbook, travel bug, Bothell history videos, City of Bothell Historic Walking Tour guides, and much more.
