Burke Gilman - LFP
#1 The Snag

Start at the Starbucks on Bothell Way (SR #522) south of the intersection with Ballinger Way (SR #104) in Lake Forest Park.

Cross Bothell Way at the light to the east side of the street.

Enter the Burke Gilman trail at NE 170th, a paved walking trail going north.

Go a short ways up the path. There are some tall trees on your left. Count 8 trees. Turn to your left. Between the trail and the street is a big tree snag laying down in the shape of an inverted 'V'. Right underneath the 'Right Lane Bus Only' sign.

Look underneath and just inside the left leg of the V to find the box. May be covered with some pieces of bark.

If you see and hear the chickens on your right or if you see the building with the green wall on your left, you've gone too far.

#2 The Creek and the Lake

This is a new box with a new location within the park. If you find the orange topped box that I left in the brush by the bench by the lake, please write me at sandy@dsbarnes.com

Continue down the Burke Gilman Trail past the building with the green wall and "Asia Today" At the fish water fountain, the path veers towards the street. Turn right and walk towards the lake. "Lake Forest Park Civic Club" will be in front of you. Turn left on the street. Immediately you will see the sign for "Lyons Creek Waterfront Preserve". Go through the gate and walk along path that runs towards the lake.


Take the first Y to the right

You will see two picnic tables, walk by the picnic tables and go down the 5 stairs.

Walk 15 paces down the path until it turns to the right.

But don't turn right, you will be facing three bushes. Behind the three bushes are some native shrubbery with two trees growing.

The main path to the lake runs behind the shrubbery and the trees.

Look in the native shrubbery slightly in front and between the two trees to find the box. ind the box.
