Talk:Seattle, Washington

Welcome to Seattle

... once the more active graticules on our planet. It rains a lot here, but that doesn't often deter our intrepid geohashers. Current expedition discussions at the top of the this page. Archived discussions on the past page.

Jan 23/24

Saturday in the Snoqualmie graticule looks to be quite near the Preston Snoqualmie trail, which apparently has a view of the falls near the Snoqualmie end. Sunday here is in Everett, near Silver Lake, with a 7-11 just across the freeway. Hopefully I can make the latter, weather and plans preclude the former for me. --Thomcat (talk) 09:55, 22 January 2016 (EST)

I did make the latter, and was perhaps the only expedition that day. --Thomcat (talk) 09:52, 25 January 2016 (EST)

Sept 22

On the grounds of Tacoma Community College, near the Japanese Friendship Garden. Anyone want to give it a visit? --Thomcat (talk) 09:43, 22 September 2015 (EDT)

Sept 18-20

Friday September 18 is a decent spot, between Murphy's corner and Archbishop Murphy High School. I'll bet those two are related... --Thomcat (talk) 11:14, 18 September 2015 (EDT)

June 8

Interesting point on Tacoma's waterfront; I encourage someone to go see it. http://geohashing.info/20150608/c22zrkt9/17/c22uvnr3 --Thomcat (talk) 09:42, 8 June 2015 (EDT)

May 29-31

Today's Logan Park looks decent; tomorrow it's probably ambassador near Juanita Woodlands park. Sunday is deep woods on the peninsula; will look elsewhere. --Thomcat (talk) 09:40, 29 May 2015 (EDT)

April 24-26

Three decent points this weekend, two at opposite corners of the graticule. Friday has us in Olympia, Saturday near Snoqualmie (in a farmer's field), and Sunday right downtown. Definitely going to the last one, but ping here if you are interested in the other two. --Thomcat (talk) 09:41, 24 April 2015 (EDT)

April 11

April 10th and 12th have that edge-of-the graticule minesweeper appeal, but are otherwise unattractive. April 11th is on Seattle Hill Road in Mill Creek - definitely worth an afternoon visit. Say, 4pm? --Thomcat (talk) 11:00, 10 April 2015 (EDT)

Christmas Eve & Christmas, 2014

Center graticule means splash for us, so unless you are a fish, I wish you all a Merry Christmas! --Thomcat (talk) 09:38, 24 December 2014 (EST)

Goodbye peoples!!

I am moving away from this graticule on Monday the 1st... and none of the points through then look convenient to me, so I probably won't see any of you in person. It's been a great couple of years though! -- OtherJack (talk) 14:06, 29 August 2014 (EDT)

May you either find better geohashing... or take your curse with you! :) --Thomcat (talk) 21:51, 29 August 2014 (EDT)

It will be the former! -- OtherJack (talk) 22:07, 29 August 2014 (EDT)

Farewell, Jack! I'm glad I was able to meet you--and hit the July 10 globalhash! Truly an epic adventure, as hashing goes. :) -- Rex Wolf (talk) 00:34, 30 August 2014 (EDT)

I know, and it was great to meet you too! Keep hashing in Vancouver (and try to bring the others there out of hibernation...) -- OtherJack (talk) 23:02, 2 September 2014 (EDT)
