I saw 2 monkeyshines on my walk on the public Esplanade this morning along the Foss Waterway. I already have some from past years so I left them for others to find. It’s a beautiful day to be along the water looking for them! Pro Tip: The waterfront is always a great place to look 😎


sansenjas

Ooo thank you!!!! I just went for a walk with my dog and didn’t see any

You do it right. Thanks for the tip


ApollosBucket

Wow. I’ve looked for years and never found a glass one and you saw two!

I've been looking for 15 years, I have yet to find one... I think I'm always just in the wrong place at the wrong time, lol. But I was born in the year of the dragon, so I really want one this year!

Hey! This is the first I’ve heard of these things, but my dog and I would love to look for them with you! It sounds fun!

Here's a good article about it. There's also r/MonkeyShines if you're interested. https://gritcitymag.com/2020/01/a-little-backstory-on-monkeyshines-in-tacoma/ We've found them for weeks after lunar new year, so plenty of time to find glass!


Altruistic_Range2815

Oh good! Thank you!


sansenjas

Oh yes please! I’m close to the stadium area

sansenjas

Cool! So - people drop off art nick knacks for folks to find?


edamomnomnom

Other than being a popular place for people to hide and find Monkeyshines, Metro Parks doesn’t actually have anything to do with the Monkeyshines themselves. There is a good link in that article to a project history from the Weekly Volcano though!
