NGS Triangulation Station, Bellevue Area, Washington This triangulation point is part of the National Geodetic Survey's foundational control network, which establishes precise horizontal reference coordinates across the United States. Triangulation stations serve as monumented survey marks used to support mapping, engineering projects, and spatial data development. Located near Bellevue, Washington at 47.61500°N, 122.14889°W, this point contributes to regional geodetic infrastructure in the Puget Sound area. Trig stations like this one were historically observed and computed as part of classical triangulation networks connecting primary control points across state and regional boundaries. Such monuments provide surveyors and engineers with accurately positioned reference marks essential for establishing local survey control and verifying coordinate systems. Verification and documentation of existing geodetic marks remains valuable for the surveying community, as these points may serve as recovery references or provide historical insight into control network development. Current coordinate accuracy and monument condition should be confirmed through field inspection.
