Geocache Description:

A walk in the neighborhood and a walk in the park.


Here is a chance to do a study on housing styles. The Ravenna Park neighborhood is bounded on the west by 15th Ave NE, and on the east by 25th Ave NE. The northern boundary is NE 65th St. The ravine of Ravenna Park guards the south.

  1. I'm going to give you the 7, yes seven, waypoints you will need to go to in order to determine the waypoint of the final.
  2. I'm going to give you pictures of what you need to see at each waypoint.
  3. I'm going to give you two formulas to use when you have gathered the information you need.

Any questions?

Here are the predominant styles of homes found in this area. Most are single family dwellings but some homes have MIL or mother-in-law apartments in the basement from which the owners derive a little cash.

  • BrickTudor
  • Cape Cod
  • Wood-framed Tudor
  • Bungalow
  • Stucco Tudor
  • Four Square
  • Side-entry Dutch Colonial

    The homes you need to see:

    • N47 40.401 W122 18.388
    • N47 40.378 W122 18.161
    • N47 40.439 W122 18.676
    • N47 40.413 W122 18.105
    • N47 40.423 W122 18.442
    • N47 40.451 W122 18.382
    • N47 40.374 W122 18.110

    The formulas:

    1. XX.XXX = (Brick Tudor + Side-entry Dutch Colonial + Bungalow + Cape Cod + Brick Tudor + Brick Tudor + Side-entry Dutch Colonial + Stucco Tudor + Bungalow + Bungalow + Wood-framed Tudor + Cape Cod + 14)/1000
    2. YY.YYY = (Side-entry Dutch Colonial + Four Square + Bungalow + Stucco Tudor + Wood-framed Tudor + 21)/1000

    Checksum: XX.XXX + YY.YYY = 58.558

    When you have the answers you will know what to do with them. FTF prize is a spankin' new unregistered 2005 Washington Geocoin.

    There is never any need to leave the public right of way whether you travel by foot, bike, car, or other. Please stay off of private property.

    No bushwhacking is required when you are in the park. Please be considerate of our flora and fauna.

    Reception in the park is difficult at best. I averaged the final coordinates after three separate days of testing.

    The neighborhood is safe. The park is very dark. Don't get muggled! I wouldn't go down there after nightfall. What would TUS do?
