Relatively new to the Puget Sound area... happened upon this geohashing thing while bored on the Internet and figure it would be a great way to become acquainted with my new surroundings and people who live here. I love discovering unexpected places. Hope to Will bike and/or take transit to most, but will have to drive sometimes inevitably all hashes (or walk, or get a ride), as I no longer have access to a car. I live up past Green Lake on top of Phinney Ridge in Seattle.

I should add that I was born and raised in 42,-87 and have also lived in 40,-88 and 22,114 before finding myself out here...
