From the US97 exit in Redmond, continue generally SE on SW Airport Way for about 0.3 mile. Turn right on SW 19th Street and continue S for 0.8 mile. Park and walk S for about 0.6 mile to the Third Standard Parallel. Turn right and walk W about 0.7 miles along a fence line. At an opening in the barbed wire fence, bear left on an unmarked dirt road. Continue on the road, generally SW for about 0.6 miles, then SSW and parallel to the BNSF railroad tracks for about 1.1 miles, and finally S for 0.7 miles to the corner. For the last 0.1 mile it is more convenient to walk along the maintained fence line rather than the dirt road. Based on field measured GPS grid coordinates, this corner bears S1.3°E from WAYMARK WMJZDE, 2642' distant.
