The first-ever Geocaching Blockparty, held in Seattle, marked a historic moment in the geocaching community. Held in 2008, it brought together geocachers from around the world for an unforgettable weekend of adventure and connection. Hosted by Groundspeak, the company behind Geocaching.com, the Blockparty provided a unique opportunity for geocachers to meet in person, share stories, and forge new friendships. The event included a variety of activities, including geocaching competitions, seminars on geocaching techniques, and social gatherings where geocachers could share their experiences and swap geocaching tips. The highlight of the weekend was undoubtedly the chance to join other geocachers to discover new caches and solve challenging puzzles in the beautiful Seattle area. The first Geocaching Blockparty was not only a celebration of the growing success of geocaching, but also a recognition of the passion and dedication of the geocaching community. It laid the foundation for a tradition that continues to this day, where geocachers from around the world come together each year to celebrate the spirit of adventure and camaraderie that makes geocaching so special.
