| Fri 23 May 2014 in Seattle: 47.6403037, -122.1027419 geohashing.info google osm bing/os kml crox |
Location
On a residential street in front of 17810 NE 34th St in Redmond, just west of Lake Sammamish.
Participants
- Thomcat (6 year Hashiversary)
Plans
Lunchtime visit, then take the toll bridge back to Seattle (specifically sometime between 10 and 2).
Expedition
Six years ago, I headed east for a geohash. Today, I headed east again - though not nearly as far.
Toll rates are at their lowest day rate during the lunchtime block, so I aimed to hit the bridge then. A $2.35 toll each way helps pay for the copious construction evident in the area. Pre-bridge, I of course made a stop at Spud for some local foodstuffs (fish and chips).
Following the highway 520 around, I ended up at the Microsoft exit, passing a few still on their way in and a few with a very early lunch. Across the highway is Nintendo.
Down the hill, the GPS navigation took me past Idylwood park, a favorite destination for kayakers and the location of at least one Geocache. None close to the hash location today, however.
Reaching the point, I twice tried to drive through the hashpoint, just missing each time. A light rain (standard in Seattle) was falling. Parking, I set the Hashiversary cake on the exact point and snapped a few photos (below). A marker was also left, and the cake mostly consumed.
The drive home cost another toll but went without incident.
