Hi Amanda, I am indeed in the Seattle area (live in Bothell, work in
Redmond). A couple of my other (Seattle area) friends, just got turned on
to Letterboxing too. So with luck I wont be the only one placing new boxes.

My friends and I hope to hit the Rattlesnake Lake box in a few weeks as our
first box (Oy! I lived with in walking distance from there in Highshool!
Small World )

I hope to place my first box on 4th of July when I go over to.... Heh....
you'll see, but it's local. =) This one wont be too ambitious though (hike
or find wise)... but hey, it's my first. =D

Talk at you later!

Hurrah! I hope you are in the Seattle area. Since most of the
Pacific Northwest boxes are concentrated in Oregon, it will be nice
to have more up this way!

I should get up off my butt and plant a few, (I have been working on
carving some stamps...but my art needs refining.)

Hey Amanda in Seattle & Mischief up that way, too!

I'm so glad people up in Northwestern Washington are getting into
letterboxing. Rattlesnake Ledge has a spectacular view. We went up
there earlier this year and got that box. Quite the vertical hike
(you'll see what I mean), but well worth it. All I can say about your
putting out letterboxes is place them and they will come! Glad to see
more Pacific Northwesterners getting involved with this really fun
hobby! Give us more reasons to get up there. Glenn has placed a box at
Pt. Defiance in the Tacoma area, but it would be great if there were
more than one box to look for in the Pierce/King County area. Meanwhile
we still have plenty to hunt for in the Portland area, that's for sure!

Best regards,

Hey there,
I went up to the Rattlesnake Ledge Letterbox in April and had no
trouble finding it. I took some pictures along the hike and of the
view, and I have tried posting them in a file here, but I can't get
it to work.

It is a pretty grueling up-hill climb. I am not in great shape, but
a girl scout troop was nipping at my heels and I was inspired to make
it to the top. (plus there was the letterbox to get!)

I am looking forward to some trips to the Portland area (and beaches)
in July to pick up some of your stamps!

Hey Amanda!

Thanks for placing a letterbox in Seattle! This is wonderful. I'm so
excited. My boyfriend, John, and I are really getting pumped up about
heading up there within the next couple months to go letterboxing in the
Tacoma/Seattle area. I sure am glad more folks from this part of the
country are getting involved in letterboxing! We look forward to
hearing about your letterboxing adventures, whether finding or placing!

Best regards,
