Plans
This is an easily accessible spot off Highway 9, on the shoulder of the road.
Google Maps shows the geohash close to the intersection of 84th and 94th, with a dirt trail nearby that would point to the geohash point if it was extended across the road, and a power line overhead. I plan to take the scenic route up Highway 9 and stop off at the geohash sometime Sunday afternoon.
Expedition
The weather was grey and drizzly while I drove up Highway 202 and Highway 9. I was hoping that the weather would stay clear after Saturday, but no such luck. At least it briefly stopped raining by the time I reached the geohash.
I've used State Route 9 to reach the area around Arlington before. It's an interesting 2-lane alternative to 405 and I-5 that passes through small but growing towns. The drive was longer than I expected, though. I took I-5 and 405 back home when I was done.
There were lots of giant power lines along Highway 9, including at the hashpoint. The power lines must bring the electricity down from the hydro dams on the North Cascades Highway to the Puget Sound area.
The hashpoint itself was at the intersection of a
