Geoteaming

At 8:30 a.m., 11 a.m., and 1:30 p.m., registration will open for a Geoteaming event.

Enjoy a fun filled two hours roaming the streets of Issaquah with your family, friends or co-workers in search of treasures during the high tech scavenger hunt. This exciting activity allows you to navigate Issaquah using a hand-held GPS unit to find cache sites where you will be asked to locate an item and take a photograph of it with your team. Each cache site has a point value for you to accumulate to get your team score.

Please wear weather appropriate shoes and clothing. This is a walking course and you may walk up to four miles during the two hour session — so prepare for the weather. Remember to arrive 1 hour in advance of your scheduled session to train on the equipment.

All equipment is provided and each participant will be required to complete a waiver prior to the start of the session.

Register at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, 124 West Sunset Way, Issaquah. The event is free, and lunch is provided by the Rogue Issaquah Brewhouse.
