Background:
In 1911, the City of Seattle purchased Bailey Peninsula and developed it into a 300-acre park, which was named Seward Park. Inside Seward Park live many wild animals, including bats, owls, coyotes, eagles and even some parrots. (A number of years ago, a pet owner released parrots in the park and they have miraculously survived.) The park includes a swimming beach, a 2.4 mile walking loop, an Audobon environmental center, and the largest stand of old growth trees in Seattle.
Directions to Seward Park:
From I-5 northbound, take Swift Avenue exit (#161) and turn left onto Swift Avenue S. Take first right onto S. Graham Street. Turn left onto Beacon Avenue S and then right onto S. Orcas Street. Orcas will end right at the park entrance.
From I-5 southbound, Take the West Seattle Bridge/Columbian Way exit (#163A). Keep left at the fork in the ramp and then merge onto Columbian Way S. Turn slight right onto 15th Ave S. Turn slightly left onto S. Columbian Way. Follow Columbian, which turns into S. Alaska Street, after crossing Martin Luther King Jr. Way. Turn right onto Rainier Ave S. Turn left onto S. Orcas Street. Orcas will end right at the park entrance.
Instructions to find the letterbox:
• Find the area in the park where concerts, outdoor theater performances and festivals take place. Park next to this area.
• Face north and find a trail along the road. Take a right and follow the trail until you come to a large stone trailhead marker.
• From here, you will need to find and walk down the path that will take you to a missing body of water. After a few feet on this trail you will come to a fork in the road.
• Turn right and continue until you find a large tree that fell over many years ago. The tree still has a large root mass attached to the bottom and you can see the hole where the tree originally stood.
• Climb to the end of the tree where the roots are and face south.
• Look to your left and down. You will see a large fern bush. The box is hidden behind this bush.
