Spoilers ahead: If you haven't done Clues 1 through 4 yet, head here instead!
Clue 5
Head to the what is the closest thing to Seattle's version of Central Park! (In fact, designed by the same firm as the famous NYC Park)!
Hints to find the first poster, where you'll find the NEXT clue for where to go:
- First, head to the PARK you found mentioned on the Clue 4 poster!
- Drive in past the Camels (or, right now, Construction)! :) ... getting warmer!
- Turn around and you'll find Seward. ...You're VERY HOT indeed now!
- Throw no stones if you live here!
- The big green house has amazing diversity, but it isn't, strictly speaking, colored 'green'. It's more transparent than that!
- Uphill from the playground, and at the same elevation, roughly, as the Black Sun.
- Historic Trivia: This building was added in 1912, built from a kit sold by the Hitchings Company of NY.
- Officially, this house is on E Galer St. Only, the residents are not humans, but they are well rooted in their home!
or....
- Just East of the Glass house...
- There is a wooden 'arcade' that stretches between two houses of rest
- the benches are arbored and welcoming
- Far down the hill is where the children play
- between this structure benches and the playground may be a body of water - which depends on the temperature and time of year!
- Look for the poster outdoors: wrapped around the vertical post!
or [ Coming Soon! ]
- Find in this park one of the tallest, oldest, biggest vertical water containers in the Rainy City; it towers over most nearby trees.
- On the North Side of this structure you might find the words Aqua Pura.
- At first glance, you might not assume you could enter the building, but this structure has stairs as well as an observation deck - all part of the Water Department's design when they built it in 1906.
- The stairs up are cramped, low light, hard steel, and a surprisingly long flight. Be prepared!
- The Observation deck of this tower includes history-related photos and exhibits!

SPOILER WARNING !!
BRUSH UP ON ALL THE PRIOR CLUES, FIRST!
Do not look below / scroll down until you are ready for Clue 6!
CLUE 6 Hints, to help you find the posters!
- Head towards Seattle U & the Cherry Hill Campus of Swedish Medical Center; then head south along 14th Ave
- On 14th, there is a long red building
- Look for a 'Hall' named after a president.
- in the front window, you may find the Clue Poster
- For a time, this was the home to the performance art/theatre company, On The Boards. Later, OTB moved to where ACT had been (after ACT moved to greater heights where Eagles used to be)... :)
- At the crossroads that mentions a tree by the name of 'Douglas'
- Orientation: The 100 block, West side.
- Trivia note: floorplan design by Victor Voorhees, same designer as the 'Old Georgetown City Hall' built 1909; which lasted just 1 year: Seattle annexed Georgetown in 1910. :)
or:
- Grab a cup of joe at this EXTREMELY well-known Seattle institution named for a chief mate character in the novel Moby Dick! - perhaps the same brand/cup of joe you started with, back at Alki!
-The company logo features a Siren, but most people assume she is another species of fantasy creature (logo designed by Seattle area local & designer, Terry Heckler).
- This intersection was mentioned in the songs of local hip hop music artist, long ago (1988) when he proclaimed "My Posse's On Broadway"; Sir Mix-A-Lot had to first "Pick up the Posse at 23rd & Jackson...".
- But the Azul Neon shape around the clock tower here is actually a visual history clue of its own - it refers to a much older, historic music venue , that was once nearby in the CD!
- This store is north of the Seattle College Wood Technology center, East of the Pratt Art Center, and West of Flo Ware park, and south of Douglass-Truth Library.
- The named venue (alluded to by the blue neon) was actually a musician's union building originally, but became a stop for famous jazz musicians: Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, Quincey Jones, Gertrude Wright, Jelly Roll Morton, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald all have some Seattle history here or at the Washington Hall. This poster, however, is inside the coffee shop, on the bulletin board frame.
- The blue neon is hard to see unless it's nighttime.
- You'll find the poster above the creamer and napkins. :)
- Note to parents: Some free parking here, and bathroom available for customers
