Seattle area great kid caches

[+seattlegeekgrrrlz]

Hi-

My 10 year old nephew is coming to visit around the 4th of July! He has been caching a few times with his dad, so isn't a total novice, but is still definitely more interested in regular size caches than micros. I took a look at the pinned bookmarks and didn't really see what I was looking for...so here goes.

 

Does anyone have any recommendations for good kid-friendly caches in the Seattle area? Anything your kids found particularly enjoyable? Especially great would be combining a cache (or caches) with a day hike from Seattle. I am thinking Wallace Falls might be good. Any other suggestions? Is that too strenuous of a hike for a 10-year old who has a pretty good fitness level?

 

Thanks!

How about A Fractured Fairy Tale? I don't have children, but that's a kid-oriented one that came to mind.

I think that is a good suggestion, and there are 4 or 5 other caches in the park as well.

Ohh- that looks like fun! Plus another park I have somehow managed to overlook.

 

This group always has great suggestions. Thanks!

 

Any other ideas from anyone?

You could try golden gardens. There is some trails there and a beach. The park is near the 98117 zip code.

The Cache across America- Washington would be a good cache. Especially if you take the time to look at the underside of rocks near the water. When I was there I saw red and blue starfish and lots of interesting barnacles.
