F.W. Transit Center Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Geoboater:    This afternoon I verified the cache was missing, there’s a construction fence around GZ, and the sculpture at waypoint 4 has been removed. Combine those issues with the fact I now live 3 hours away from here (lived only 2 miles away when I placed it) and it became apparent that after 15 years and 261 finds its time to archive this multi. [:(]

Geocache Description:

   Federal Way opened a new, modern transit center on 2/11/06 to augment the old park-n-ride lot between SeaTac Mall and I-5. This cache will introduce you to the facility.

The listed coordinates are for the recommended parking area. Visit the waypoints below to collect the data needed to determine the final waypoint.

To determine the final cache coordinates:
  X  = A*D+B     _____________
  Y = (C*D/A)-(B-.6)     _____________

THEN...

Minutes of latitude become    19.0X
Minutes of longitude become 17.Y
