Location

The intersection of 8th NE and NE 97th in the Maple Leaf neighborhood of Seattle.

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Stop by at lunchtime, and possibly again if anyone else wants to join. There is a 7-11 five blocks away, at NE 92nd and Roosevelt.

Might try to stop by too, but it's a bit of a trek from downtown. Fixed 92nd vs 97th above; Northgate Mall is also about five blocks away. Coyotebush (talk) 16:30, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

If only that light rail station they are building at Northgate were done, it would be a short walk. Uphill, but a short walk. --Thomcat (talk) 19:11, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Expedition

Hashpoint easily reached, though I skipped the 7-11. Glad to meet this afternoon/evening if anyone is interested.

The western edge of the road is under a massive set of power wires leading down a major substation at about 75th NE. Maybe that's why the hashpoint was jumping around a bit.

Not using my standard vehicle (and no sidewalk chalk) so I grabbed a handy hunk of rock and scratched an X in the road surface.

Content with a successful visit, I headed down the hill to Spud and lunch.
