Piers 62 and 63

By: FunnyNose Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I gave up on this one a couple days ago. Mrs. Bytemobile was with me today, and we came by after visiting the aquarium. I thought I had tried most of the hiding spots, but was more thorough today. Thanks!

The Glass Menagerie

By: guan34 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I missed this one when I was hiking around a couple days ago. I came much earlier, and had fewer muggles. Mrs. Bytemobile was with me today, and she came up with it. Thanks!

Volunteer Park

Thanks for the history lesson. I was out and about today while Mrs. Bytemobile attended a yarn conference. It is amazing that this one has been hear so many year. Thanks!

Enter the Dragon

By: Wandering Pirates Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Virtual

I was staying downtown while Mrs. Bytemobile attended a yarn conference this week. I made a plan to drive out to this one first thing, and did just that. I took a picture with my GPSr, but I doubt if the owner needs another one. Thanks!

Native Plant Wetland 2.0 (aka Yesler Swamp)

By: fishiam tenderly cared for by FN for a few ye Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

I would emphasize the wetlands part of the title. There wasn't any real path to the cache, much less wood chips. The cache was exactly as described, though. The log was damp and previous finders had written in a lot of the margins since it was full, but there were still a few blank spots, so I wrote there. Thanks!

Walking The Dogs III: Log This!

By: Wheatiebits and the Sunday Morning Dog Walker Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Other

I appreciated the new easy-to-open cache. I was initially on the wrong side of the stream, but that was soon rectified and I had the cache in hand. Thanks!

I Can Almost See I Can See The Dawghouse From Here

By: Sugar Glider Sweatshop Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

I parked on the street across from the cache. I got out and read the sign that I wasn't supposed to park from there, east. I figured that I would only be a minute, so I walked over to the park. I met a woman who commented on the view, then as I closed in on the cache, two guys walked up and took a couple pictures. After they left, I quickly found the cache and started extracting the log. Just then I saw an electric bus try to make the corner where my car was parked. The bus finally made it after backing up and trying again, but I learned what the parking sign was for. I never imagined that street to be on any bus route. Thanks!

Bell Harbor Fishy Fountain

By: guan34 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

The old GPSr I had with me was having some trouble being accurate today. I didn't recognize that it was a fountain or had a fishy theme from a distance, but I finally zeroed in and collected the clues. I spotted the likely hide from the fountain, and the cache was the first place I looked. Thanks!

Five of a kind

By: SiddnJess Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Small

I headed out for a hike from the W Hotel this morning. Found it after working my way around all sides. A helpful hint would be to tell which side to search. Thanks!

I Am the Walrus

By: Slatrat, DeepBlueThought, & Lovejoy Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

My first Washington cache. I was up early on a Sunday morning, so no problem with folks wondering what I was up to. Thanks!

Waterfall Park Cache

By: nolenator Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

I was here a little before the park was due to open at 8 am. I quickly searched the most obvious places, then walked down the sidewalk as someone came up. After reading the UPS plaque in the sidewalk, he plopped his bag next to the cache site, and was waiting for something. I decided to come back later. I had Mrs. Bytemobile with me this afternoon, and she found it the first place she looked. Thanks!
