There is a small mystery cache at Lincoln Park. These 2 pictures
will help you find it.
The cache is not at the listed coordinates. They were picked at
random I have no idea what is there. They will show you where the
park is. Please make sure you leave the cache container the same
way you found it or better. And make sure the area around the cache
is not geo-disturbed. The container is bigger than a 35mm film
cannister so you can place very small items in it. BYOP No Whacking
of the bushes is needed
Lincoln Park was called Fauntleroy Park until 1922, when the
city bought it. The popularity of the name Fauntleroy in this area
springs from the passions of Lieutenant George Davidson, who was
taking soundings off the bluff in 1857. Davidson had temporarily
left his fiancée', Ellinor Fauntleroy, back in Illinois.
The park was put together piecemeal over the years as West Seattle
developed: as shelter in 1925; parking areas in 1928; a playground
in 1930; seawalls, trails, fireplaces, and horseshoe pits during
the Depression; and major additions just after WWII, as people
streamed into the area to work in the burgeoning Boeing aircraft
plant in the Duwamish Valley.
The heated, saltwater Colman Pool began as a tide-fed swimming hole
in 1929, and was periodically hosed out by the fire department to
rid it of accumulating mud and debris. It became so popular that
residents began asking for a concrete bottom and sides - much to
the chagrin of the city, which wanted to abandon it entirely. The
pool took final concrete form in 1941, when Kenneth Colman, son of
Laurence, donated $150,000 to have it built in honor of his
father.
