Location

It looks to be either in a house or a backyard in a suburban neighborhood in Factoria. The house in question is 4467 141st Ave SE, so if you know the occupants, speak up! It may end up a Couch Potato Geohash.

Participants

AeroIllini is going to be there at 4:30.

P4r4digm & friends should arrive on the scene between 4 and 4:30

Thomcat is trying for 4:20

Plans

The map points to what appears to be a back porch but the actual coordinates once we arrive could very well end up further into the back yard or even inside the house itself. I have to recommend that we tread carefully when attempting the necessary diplomacy required to hit the spot. Dressing to moderately impress and being dutifully respectful will go a long way.

If anyone's interested, there's an Applebee's (less expensive), The Keg (more expensive) or The Sidelines (sports bar) a little ways from the mark over in Factoria if anyone wants to grab dinner and/or a drink afterward!

In line with the suggestion, this would be a great way to nab the Formal attire achievement!!

Expedition

There in 15? Depends on traffic. More likely 20. -- Thomcat @47.6629,-122.3227 16:06, 18 August 2012 (PDT)

I didn't factor in the Sounders soccer game exit - will I make it before 5? Hope the others wait a bit... -- Thomcat @47.5986,-122.3218 16:32, 18 August 2012 (PDT)

OK traffic is finally picking up. Be there in about 15mins. -- P4r4digm @47.5901,-122.3023 16:38, 18 August 2012 (PDT)

I made it to the street in front of the house. I'll wait for you guys. --AeroIllini 19:48, 18 August 2012 (EDT)

-Ok, so some coffee-induced early morning public records research revealed the residents of the site to be a Mr. and Mrs. Haase.  Mr. Richard Haase is a retired republican and his wife, Mrs. Marie Haase, is an assistant librarian at a local, private, all-girls, Roman-Catholic K-12 school called Forest Ridge.
