Location

Linden Ave N, just south of the Woodland Park Rose Garden (and Zoo)

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Stop by around 4:30 pm. Lots of sidewalk chalk.

Expedition

Picked up my daughter, drove to the hashpoint, handed her sidewalk chalk, then started snapping pictures. Also put up a flyer, so a big "hi" if you are from the internet.

This is a short walk from OtherJack's Seattle neighborhood, but he is Geohashing in other graticules.

Interestingly, though I uploaded the photo from the exact spot (within 1 m.), the photo caption lists 30-odd meters away. I believe I tweaked the setting on camera that says "use GPS coordinates"... and clearly those are a bit off. More research to come.

Still did not visit the Woodland Park Rose Garden - one of these days!
