Geocache Description:

This cache was originally placed in Pugnetti Park (N47.14.614 W122.26.118). We encourage you to visit there for the view you won't get at the current location.
On the bright side, this location has parking!
The cache is in plain sight. If you are good, you will find this one with your eyes and not your hands.

The cache is a small tupperware container (about 2"x 5" X 8") disguised to blend with the surroundings.
The best method to find this one is to stand near the shubbery and simply look for it.
There is no need to root through the ivy, it is right there in front of you.

If you are able to find the cache visually without feeling around for it, make note of that in your log...extra points!!

The site of this cache is near the terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad. If you visit Pugnetti Park you will see a plaque memorializing Donald Pugnetti's vision, Which helped build the Tacoma Spur.
further on is another monument that reads: "June 10, 1926. Commemorating December 16, 1873 when Northern Pacific Rails met Pacific Ocean Sails at Tacoma, WA"

In fairness, it should be mentioned that although the railroad was an economic windfall for the Pacific Northwest and the national economy, it was a nail in the coffin for the tribal way of life and many of the indigenous people.
