I recovered this City of Seattle benchmark in good condition although the brass disk face has been marked up pretty good. The monumentation of the disk is unknown. This disk is not listed in the NGS database but it is listed in the Washington Geodetic Survey database. My posted coordinates should place you very close to this mark.
