Hillside cemetery, land was donated by the Gilman IOOF to the city of Issaquah during 1900. In the early years up until 1913 it was maintained by the Woman's relief corps, today it is maintained by the Issaquah City Parks department. A Seattle Times article from October 4th 1915 states individual graves were sold for $5 and lots started at $10. A cemetery board was created in 1983 to help with maintenance, expansion and other decisions.

The cache should be easy to locate, it is on the opposite side of the service road from the cemetery graves, the hint should give away the location. Remember that this is an active cemetery so it is possible that there might be a service or mourners present, please be respectful of them or anyone else that might not understand what we are doing. The cache container is NOT located near any graves, the hint will lead you right to it And one more time for a reminder. The cache is only accessible from 7AM until 7:30PM. The Cemetery gates close and lock automatically at 8PM.
Congratulations goes to Bolosky for the first to find on 1-25-14
