Tacoma Area caches

[HJS]

Hey folks,

I live in SE Virginia and I am coming to Tacoma for a few days in the near future. I just ran a zip code query (98433) for your area and got 1280 caches within 100 miles. WOW! In the last 10 months I watched my local Zipcode go from the 120's to 170. How do I figure which caches to hunt??? Any suggestions for things to do or NOT to do, caches to hunt and caches to avoid? Your local wisdom is appreciated, I hope to hear from many Tacoma area cachers.

This one is the easiest one in Tacoma to find.

This one is probably one of the more challenging to get to, though easy to find.

There are more on my home page. Zips 98335 or 98438 work too.

Please let us know what kind of caches you like to hunt. That will help narrow down the choices.

 

Also be prepared for a different kind of challenge out here. Tree cover can really mess with your accuracy rate.

Thanks for the responses.

Criminal, thats a pretty nice home page you got there. And congrats on retiring from the military, may you have more time to hunt for caches.

I look forward to visiting the great Northwest. Not sure how much geo-caching I'll get done; depends on how much time off the wife allows me. I will need to do at least 3 or 4 regular caches in order to drop off the 3 (maybe 4)travel bugs I'm bringing west.

There's hardly a bad one in the area. I've not done any of the nighttime caches (except Barnyard Breakout in Puyallup), but for daytime caches, Titlow Beach is nice. So is Chambers Creek. 4 On The Floor is pretty cool, and the three Point Defiance caches are in nice areas (even if I can't find the last one!).

 

Plugging my own, I particularly like the Seeley Lake Baseball Cache in Lakewood and Seventeen Pedestals in Fife.
