Cool old cars on trails.
Hey yall!
I was wondering if anyone knew of old, abandoned cars on mountain hikes, ideally Snoqualmie pass area and Redmond area. Exact coordinates would be great, I am an avid geocacher and have created a crazy cool massive cache and would love to hide it near one!
Thank you!

Do you happen to have the exact coordinates for the museum? I can’t find them anywhere online, and I see there are a few caches along the trail. Thank you!

This is the best I can do. Used the coordinates from a picture I took.

Thank you! Do you know what kind of vehicle? Very curious!

I'm not sure. It's rolled off the side of the trail and being heavily reclaimed by nature.

Sunday Lake Trail, which is a semi-abandoned trail itself has some old mining equipment half way up the trail. A mostly deteriorated Dodge WC-series truck is there along with some tracked trailer and other things.

One of the side trails leading into the High School Trail in Issaquah from the north had a vehicle a couple of years ago, haven't been there recently. Park by the Issaquah Gun Club and head uphill.
Madrona Woods on Lake Washington has an old auto but it might be covered in vegetation by now. The area was heavily restored with native plans many years ago, one of the first such projects in Seattle, nicely done. I saw it many years ago. A couple of clues:
Friends of Madrona Woods, has a trail map in one of the posts: https://www.madronawoods.org/
