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

Success! AeroIllini, Thomcat, P4r4digm, and dragalongs Todd and Alex successfully completed a Saturday meetup at the coordinates. After meeting the occupants of the house and explaining what we were doing, they agreed to take a picture of their back deck for us, which was very close to the point.
