This benchmark is located on the back of a popular rock for graffiti. As a result, it is pretty heavily abused. In order to recover the mark I had to chip a massive amount of paint off using a rock and a used paint can. Locating it was pretty hard. It is located on the back side of the rock in the fairly flat area. Look for a small circular indentation in the paint if it's covered. This mark isn't located in any benchmark database I've found so far so I don't really know much about it. The nearby cache The best little rock in Snohomish has a few pictures in it's database of the benchmark long before it was covered in paint.
