Today's Location: [Seattle, WA]

The Seattle, WA graticule is at latitude 47, longitude -122. It completely encloses the cities of Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia, as well as the surrounding large cities. The graticule is mostly land, but also encloses most of the Puget Sound. This graticule essentially encompasses the major hub of western Washington.

If the geohash is close to shore, be sure to check the Tide Chart before you go.
