Location

The middle of 2nd Ave NE in the Meridian Park neighborhood of North Seattle.

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Visit on the way back from the library

Expedition

So originally I planned to visit on the way back from the library - picking up some books for winter weekend hibernation. Yes, we don't get much snow in Seattle, but the danger of a town where absolutely nobody can drive in the snow is not to be underestimated!

Distracted, I returned home first, then went back out to visit the hashpoint (with dragalong dog). Right in the middle of the road, I was able to park on the spot. I confirmed that the arrows shown in the streetview (conveniently pointing to the hashpoint) were no longer there, but opted not to recreate them in blue chalk that would be wiped away in a few hours.

Returning home, I saw there were no geohashes in or on Meridian, and none in Shoreline. Will have to write those challenges up soon.
