This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that form the foundation of horizontal geodetic reference in the United States. Triangulation stations serve as precisely positioned reference markers established through classical surveying methods and are integral to mapping, engineering projects, and cadastral surveys. Located near Bellevue, Washington, this benchmark provides local control for surveyors and geospatial professionals conducting work in the Puget Sound region. The coordinates and station type are documented within the NGS database for verification and use in survey operations. Maintenance of these historic control points remains valuable for quality assurance, as they can be reobserved to validate modern positioning technologies and maintain consistency in regional survey networks.
