Worth the trip around Seattle
The places with the most to tell about. The numbers match the map.
Seattle's strength is the view: 75 viewpoints within 25 km, Kerry Park at 3.3 km, the Louisa Boren Overlook at 3.5 km, plus the Space Needle (1962) at 2 km, one of four lookout towers. Alki Point Lighthouse (1913) at 7.4 km and West Point Light (1881) at 9.9 km are the two lights, and the Chinatown Gate is 0.9 km from the center.
Forty-three beaches is a lot, most of them on Lake Washington and the Sound rather than the ocean, Madison Park Beach at 5.3 km and Mount Baker Beach at 4.2 km among them. There are no castles and only eight ruins; the waterfalls, Coal Creek Falls and Far Country Falls, sit about 18 km out. A beach quest in Seattle is a lake quest, and RLQuest doesn't mind.
Each hexagon covers a little over 5 square kilometers. The brighter it glows, the more places are inside it. The numbers mark the highlights listed below; the dot in the middle is the center of Seattle.

RLQuest knows these places too. Which means:
Some of your daily quests lead to a real place near you. The app uses your location to check you were really there.
If you're the first person in RLQuest to complete a quest at a place, it's your first find. The Place Book shows you which kinds of place you're still missing.
Every walk uncovers tiles, each about 350 m across. Over time you can see which corners you know well, and where you've never set foot.
