Geocache Description:

This cache is not at the posted coordinates.

In honor of the 2013 Geocaching Block Party, I have decided to place my first hide. As I love puzzle caches, I have one for you inspired by the TV show Frasier.


Before I moved to Seattle in 1996, my impressions of the city were shaped by this well-known show. Imagine my disappointment when I arrived in town and couldn’t locate Frasier’s residence, the Elliott Bay Tower Apartments. While there seems to be some debate about the theoretical location of Frasier’s imaginary apartment building, I like to think of it near my home in the Queen Anne neighborhood. This cache is placed where the building could have been located. It is not at the posted coordinates but they will provide the same view that Frasier saw from his living room.

To find it, you will need to use these two recently discovered scenes from a lost episode of Frasier.

Frasier: I can just hear the whispers now. "Did you see the bride? Very lifelike."

Martin: There's a yakkety-yak streak that runs through this family.

Daphne: No, I’m a resident alien here from England. You know, the country that used to own you people!



Lilith: You also learned that I have twice your upper body strength, so shut your pie hole!

Dr Schaeffer: Look, in my expert opinion, I'm doing what's best for this patient.

Frasier: So when Billy Kriezel tried to stuff you into your locker after math class, he wasn't really mad at you; he was mad at Pythagoras.

Congrats to DibsNot on FTF!
