This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental geodetic framework for the United States. Located near Seattle, Washington, this trig point serves as a control station for horizontal positioning and survey operations across the region. Triangulation stations of this type were established to provide accurate reference coordinates for mapping, engineering projects, and cadastral surveys. The monumentation and published coordinates enable surveyors and geospatial professionals to reference their local work to the national datum. Verification and documentation of such points remain valuable for maintaining the integrity of the geodetic control network, supporting both modern GPS-based surveys and traditional ground-based methods that depend on established reference positions.
