Welcome to Seattle

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

100th Success

GECO has us at 98 expedition successes (131 expeditions). NWoodruff and the Most active graticules page has us at 99 expedition successes (143 expeditions), which I believe to be accurate (pending recount). So our next Seattle graticule expedition could be our 100th success - who's in? --Thomcat 11:59, 18 December 2012 (EST)

In principle! Depends on where/when of course. -- OtherJack 15:25, 18 December 2012 (EST)

I knew OtherJack was in - I don't suppose you'd be interested in auditing the Seattle Expeditions? I think the missing ~~April~~ March 15th expedition is the difference between GECO and Most Active. --Thomcat 17:48, 18 December 2012 (EST)

Anyone else interested in a 100th geohash? Special end-of-the-world coordinates available on Friday, which covers the weekend in case of Mayan failure. --Thomcat 19:28, 18 December 2012 (EST)

Recount complete, hanging chad suitably thumped. Had a few photos to upload, and still have a few more, but wanted to get this report out. I checked 157 expeditions and found that the Seattle graticule has 100 successes, failed to reach the coordinates 35 times, planned 11 more expeditions, and explored alternate meetups 9 times. GECO is a little off, and it will take more work to track down how. --Thomcat 16:49, 19 December 2012 (EST)

Further correction, I had a mistake. Congrats to OtherJack for his not-so-Useless 100th success in the Seattle graticule. --Thomcat 16:56, 19 December 2012 (EST)

Well, that works! Little did I know. -- OtherJack 17:23, 19 December 2012 (EST)

Oct 26-28

Friday is almost certainly in the back corner of the property at 3404 26th Pl in Puyallup. Saturday is the front of a house in Poulsbo, Sunday a property near Poulsbo - perhaps an outbuilding? Hard to say from the satellite photo. I'll be driving by the house in Puyallup tonight on my way to a buddy's house on South Hill. --Thomcat 09:43, 26 October 2012 (EDT)

Oct 20-21

Two Pierce County hashpoints - Saturday in some woods at the end of a cul de sac in Steilacoom, and Sunday inside someone's house south of Tacoma near Route 7. I could potentially do either... Saturday relatively late, around 6pm or later, but much more flexible time wise on Sunday. Post if you're interested in either... -- OtherJack 15:34, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

Oct 12-14

Early hoping - committing my thoughts to electrons. Friday or Saturday should be either at the Evergreen State College or somewhere between Buckley and Bonney Lake. Sunday's hash point should clearly be on NE Pinewood Drive in East Bremerton. Regardless of where they are, it's time for a Seattle Rain Geohash this weekend. --Thomcat 14:54, 11 October 2012 (EDT)

Okay, here's what we actually got. A "birds eye" from the East shows Friday's point to be on the shore of a pond south of Pacific Lutheran. Saturday is near the top of a ridge on the Olympic Peninsula, and neighboring graticules also look inaccessible. Sunday is likely on private property in Skyway. --Thomcat 09:55, 12 October 2012 (EDT)

I thought about trying to ambassador the Skyway one today, but ended up being productive at home instead. Next weekend maybe... -- OtherJack 23:53, 14 October 2012 (EDT)

Oct 5-7

Weekend hashpoints are in the woods, the forest, and the S'Klallam tribal forest - none I plan to strive for. Next weekend I will be headed to Oktoberfest in Leavenworth, and hopefully a nearby geohash or two. --Thomcat 09:59, 5 October 2012 (EDT)

Sept 28-30

Finishing the month out, today's hashpoint is reachable in Puyallup's South Hill. Saturday is in the forest and Sunday on the peninsula. Saturday alternate meetup proposal - Bite of Broadview 4pm.

Why not - I'll see you there, unless I say otherwise later. Sunday looks like it would be an interesting ride, and potentially reachable, but a late Saturday night means I may not be up for it... -- OtherJack 14:45, 28 September 2012 (EDT)

Sept 21-23

A happy Solstice to all! Friday is in the military base, Saturday on the peninsula, and Sunday in deep forest. We knew our luck couldn't hold out forever... --Thomcat 09:42, 21 September 2012 (EDT)

Actually, Sunday's one graticule north, which is closer than "our" point, is smack in the middle of Lake Stevens (the lake). Earlier today I tried to see if anyone rented boats there, but the internet + calling a few people made it clear that they don't. Oh well. I also could have biked to today's (Sat) but decided to stay home and do other stuff. -- OtherJack 02:41, 23 September 2012 (EDT)

Sept 19

I choose today *not* to drive to Bothell for work, and this happens. Ignore an accessible geohash in this graticule at your peril, I say, though I'm not sure when I could go. Taking time off work *does* seem to be a piratey thing to do though... --Thomcat 10:03, 19 September 2012 (EDT)

Sept 17

Surprisingly easy geohash spot today; I can and will meet anyone who would like to this afternoon, as I have a flexible schedule. --Thomcat 13:14, 17 September 2012 (EDT)

At a retreat on San Juan Island for the next 24 hours or so, so I won't make it. Local hashpoints are all on the mainland or in the water today... -- OtherJack 15:13, 17 September 2012 (EDT)

September 14-16

Friday is south of Buckley, and Sunday is in the middle of Stickney Lake in Everett (though there is a boat launch). Saturday is down in Kent, and I am mounting an expedition -- 2012-09-15 47 -122‎ -- and then continuing south to a friends house for a strategy game night. Yee-haw! --Thomcat 09:42, 14 September 2012 (EDT)

A great success, bringing the Graticule total to 90 coordinates reached out of 130 expeditions attempted. Just 10 more successes this year to bring our graticule to 100! --Thomcat 11:34, 16 September 2012 (EDT)

September 7-9

Up a mountain on the peninsula, likely private property on the peninsula, or likely private property in Tacoma. Take your pick - none are particularly exciting. Saturday's geohash one graticule east is just south of Index and basically right on Highway 2, and two graticules south the geohash is just across the river from Battleground, near what looks like a Christmas Tree farm. I'm up for an alternate meetup if you've got some ideas. Cheers! --Thomcat 10:12, 7 September 2012 (EDT)

Sunday's south of Tacoma is actually right on the fence line of a large apartment complex... that shouldn't be that hard! We could be anyone. And even if it's on the other side of the fence, that appears to be a driveway, not someone's backyard or anything. I think this is doable, and if I'm feeling up to it I'll bike down there, and take the 578 back. Time TBA/flexible... -- OtherJack 14:30, 7 September 2012 (EDT)

Excellent idea, but I've got a pair of baseball games to run. Go get it, tiger! --Thomcat 10:04, 8 September 2012 (EDT)

August 31, September 1-3 (Labor Day Weekend)

Friday: In a backyard outside of Gig Harbor
Saturday: In the middle of Elliot Bay
Sunday: Deep in Forest Service territory south of Discovery Bay
Monday: A residential road inside Lewis-McChord Joint Base

Does anybody have access to Lewis-McChord? Monday's point is right in the middle of the road, but it's beyond the guard shack. Military ID, Civilian contractor ID, or visitor's passes are required. --AeroIllini 14:28, 31 August 2012 (EDT)

August 24-26

Friday is on a forested hillside on the peninsula; Sunday a backyard near Bonney Lake. Saturday is potentially reachable, and I have proposed an alternate location a mere 300m away, then we walk to the point for an attempt. Games this time? What say you all? --Thomcat 10:11, 24 August 2012 (EDT)

Unfortuantely team p4r4digm is out of the game this weekend. Prior engagement has me tied up through monday. Attain some epic spots for me! Hope your california trip was awesome :D - P4r4digm 12:51, 24 August 2012 (EDT)

I'll bike down on Saturday - shall we meet at the alternate at 4pm? Or when exactly? Can't stay for games though, as this will be a break from packing for a Sunday move! -- OtherJack 14:12, 24 August 2012 (EDT)

Sunday out for me also - leaving town. Meet at 4pm sharp sounds good, right by the softball field (as indicated on the alternate). --Thomcat 14:57, 24 August 2012 (EDT)

Sounds like a plan -- OtherJack 15:05, 24 August 2012 (EDT)

I'll do my best to be there at 4pm, but may have to end up going later depending on my schedule. I will, of course, bring games. --AeroIllini 15:09, 24 August 2012 (EDT)

I'm fine to reschedule to later, if you want to change it -- OtherJack 15:32, 24 August 2012 (EDT)

4pm is looking good. Let's keep it then. Is the alternate location posted somewhere? Saturday's meetup doesn't have an expedition page yet. --AeroIllini 20:45, 24 August 2012 (EDT)

Click on the peeron link (for Saturday) on the seattle page, it's the blue marker. I'll get around to making an expedition page sometime if one of you hasn't done it yet... -- OtherJack 20:49, 24 August 2012 (EDT)

Ahh, I see it, thanks. I usually go straight to Google Maps, so I didn't think to check Peeron. --AeroIllini 20:57, 24 August 2012 (EDT)

Late cancel - can't make it today. --Thomcat 18:26, 25 August 2012 (EDT)

August 17-19

Friday is just off the coast of the peninsula - perhaps swimmable, if anyone is over there. Saturday is on the back porch of 4467 141st Ave SE Bellevue, and would require an ambassador to visit this rather nice home. 4pm anyone? What is that star-trek shaped house NW of this one?!? Sunday is towards the edge of a farmer's field just south of Flaming Geyser State Park, which isn't quite as cool as it sounds. --Thomcat 10:08, 17 August 2012 (EDT)

I soooo want to try the beach one near silverdale but have to work and would run into the same issue of nightfall as I did on Whidbey :( Saturday's sounds fun and awesome! Who knows, maybe we convince the residents the start hashing and they get closer than anyone's ever gotten for the couch potato! I'll talk to the people who were interested of coming along saturday and try to figure out what time works for everyone. May skip on sunday just to chill :P --P4r4digm 10:12, 17 August 2012 (EDT)

From my research (which may no longer be accurate) that Bellevue house is the property of a Richard Haase^[1], a retired republican^[2] whose wife, Marie, is an assistant librarian at Forest Ridge School^[3]. Semi-elderly school librarian? I have a feeling they'd go for a cordial visit from the internet :) --P4r4digm 10:39, 17 August 2012 (EDT)

I just created the meetup page 2012-08-18 47 -122 for Saturday's point. I plan on being there (I stated the standard 4:30 time, but I can be flexible). I would be more comfortable being Official Internet Ambassador to the good Mr. and Mrs. Haase if there were more people than just me present. Would it still count as a successful hash if we only made it to the street in front of the house? ---AeroIllini 14:57, 17 August 2012 (EDT)

Awesome! I got 2 friends I'm dragging along and it sounds like Thomcat is on board as well. Suggestion for better chances of success: Wear semi nice clothes and be respectful! I think we'll plan to be there around 4 and hangout till everyone arrives. And there's an Applebee's not far from there over in Factoria if anyone wants to get dinner after :D -- P4r4digm 15:02, 17 August 2012 (EDT)

August 16

Really easy meetup location today, in a street in Wallingford! Thomcat already went this morning but we will try to re-converge this afternoon or evening. See the page 2012-08-16 47 -122 for planning... -- OtherJack 12:51, 16 August 2012 (EDT)

Good to meet you as well! -- OtherJack 13:33, 17 August 2012 (EDT)

August 3-5

Saturday is in the drink and Sunday is on the base, so that leaves today's spot (next to a private lake just north of 12715 Old Snohomish Monroe Rd) or an alternate meetup on Saturday. Open to alternate suggestions here - just want to attend my 10th Saturday meetup. Anyone? --Thomcat 11:16, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

Saturday's Snoqualmie point looks interesting, in the mountains but only about 2 miles (crow flies) up a valley from a forest service road. I was thinking of going to look at some hiking maps to see if there's a trail up that valley (or do you know yourself whether there is?) If you're feeling less ambitious / have less time, we could meet at the spring in Licton Springs Park, 9536 Ashworth Ave N... I've always meant to check it out sometime... -- OtherJack 13:05, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

Licton Springs is good, 4:00pm. We will be meeting here to try and find this feature. I'll add an expedition page later today. --Thomcat 16:36, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

Sweet, I'll be there at 4. Also, good job using two different realizations of the word "geohash" at one go... -- OtherJack 16:56, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

-Friday and Sunday are out on the peninsula - today is particularly wet. Regarding Saturday, in the far south end, take a look at the satellite photo. What is that thing just SW of the hashpoint? [http://activegeohasher.com/geohash/2012-07-21/47/-122 AG link] None of the surrounding roads show up on the google or peeron map either.

-:Zillow and Bing maps confirm that it's part of the military base; google needs to get their maps up to snuff. Street view shows the roads leading to it as fenced also.

-Friday's is out in a field somewhere that may-or-may-not-be thwarted by clear and obvious No Trespassing signs.  We could probably gain easy access to Friday's in the daylight, but I'm not sure I'd risk getting shot at at night...which is a shame, because I'm sure there would be somewhere nice to camp around here too.  It's about 250m from a road, right past obvious houses, but approaching from the northwest could work I guess (if you're a ninja).
-Saturday's looks like it's along a not-quite-private road, which may or may not be in someone's back yard; Bing Maps has more hopeful roads than Google Maps, and it looks like they go around it rather helpfully.  Google's map view shows a big, unoccupied looking land plat.  This is reachable.  It's also about 3km from Friday's.
-Sunday's is a bit west of Bremerton, and looks like it has alligators, about 30m off "shore" if you could call it that.  A small kayak should suffice.
-Not sure I can make any of these though.  --[[User:Traveller|Traveller]] 13:37, 23 March 2012 (EDT)
