Hey there, I finally got off of my duff today and planted my first
letterbox. It is in Schmitz Park in Seattle. Here is the info:
Schmitz Park, Seattle, Washington
Directions: From I-5 take the West Seattle Bridge to SW Admiral
Way. Follow Admiral Way uphill, through the business district, and
downhill to SW Stevens (watch for the "rainbow" park sign on the
left, just before Admiral Way crosses a bridge over the ravine). Turn
left at the sign and keep right, following the road down to the
parking area. Park in the parking lot.
Difficulty: easy
Clues: From the parking lot, start at the sign that says "Leash Pets
and Obey Scoop Laws".
Take the main path to the right past a rock commemorating the
bicentennial planting of fir trees.
You'll come to a fork in the path, take the right fork upwards.
Further along the trail, there will be a small wooden bridge to your
left. Take the bridge and at the second section of bridge, there
will be on your left a tree with fallen trees on either side of it.
You can step off the bridge onto one of these fallen trees. At the
base of the standing tree, within the roots is the letterbox!
You can go back the way you came, or follow the trail back to the
parking lot. There are many secondary trails that criss-cross this
park. Also, many local schools use the park as an outdoor
classroom. Please be discreet. I hope to plant some more
letterboxes in this park soon!
This is an Old-growth Evergreen Forest in the heart of Seattle.
There are a variety of birds, trees, ferns and shrubs in the park.

Wow grats Amanda,
Can't wait to look for it.... must... finish... signature.... stamp!
Plan A isnt working out so well for me... I had wanted to take my custom
design and have a stamp commercially made, but so far that looks to cost me
$20+ (for a 2x2 stamp), but I'm gonna check a couple more places.
Ive read up a bit on stamp carving at Der Mad Stampers site, so I might
give that a whirl this weekend. (crossing my fingers)
I bought 3 log books last night.... Bellevue art is having a big sale - I
got some *nice* books for half off (Spiral bound, decoritive cover). I
still need to decide on ink, and get the box and other odds and ends. I'll
prolly skip outta work early and hit the local craft store =D
So? Was it fun to do? Did you have trouble finding a hiding spot? Did you
get any funny looks? Gimme dirt (so to speak) =D
