my wife and i have just been introduced to letterboxing so please excuse the 'newbie' mistakes and possible assumptions that we may make.
today, sunday 6/20 we placed what we assume is the first letterbox in washington state, near seattle.
here are the clues:
take I-90 to the north bend area. exit at the 436th st. exit and go south 3-4 miles to rattlesnake lake. (there are no snakes at rattlesnake lake)
park and look for the rattlesnake ledge trailhead.
hike the moderately steep trial 1.4 miles to the top. at the sign which points to the ledge in .1 mile, walk about 30 feet S.E. to a large snag.
reach inside to retrieve the letterbox.

Congratulations to Richard and his wife!!!! It's about time we colored in
the state of Washington... that's really been bugging me!!!
Hopefully, later in the summer, I'll make it up there myself to place a few.
Meanwhile, I drink a toast to the 'newbies'.... (let's see... I believe a
Black Hook Porter from Seattle's Red Hook brewing co. will suit the occasion
nicely!) Thanks for bringing us one step closer to our goal of "All 50 by
Y2K!!!"

Richard:
Congrats on for bringing the Washington into the modern (letterboxing)
world. Ever if I don't have any immediate plans to get across the
continent to look for it, it is great to know its out there
