Gog-le-hi-te Letterbox
Tacoma, Washington
Pierce County
Planted June 7, 2001 by Glenn Hansen and Bill Burk
In the language of the local Puyallup Indians, "Gog-le-hi-te" means "where
the land and waters meet." This tidal marsh and mudflat is on the eastern
shore of the Puyallup River just south of Lincoln Avenue.
The site was created by the Port of Tacoma to make up for habitat that was
lost when the Sea-Land Terminal was built in 1984.
Gog-le-hi-te provides habitat for a wide range of shorebirds, migratory
birds, salmon and flatfish.
Public access to the site is via Lincoln Avenue. Free parking is provided.
Low tide is an excellent time to view a variety of waterfowl.
Can you find it? Easy flat walk. Less than an hour to complete...maybe.

Hey Glenn!
Thanks for hiding more boxes in the Tacoma area. Funny...my boyfriend
and I went out to dinner and were talking about heading up that way to
nab your Pt. Defiance box sometime this summer and now you've given us
more reasons to go up there! Thanks loads, Guy! Now if Amanda from
Seattle and Mischief get their groove on and carve to their hearts
content maybe King County can see some letterboxes, too! This is
terrific!
Best regards,
