Interest shall accrue at the rate of twelve Page 1 of 5 Lodging Tax Grant Agreement Washington State Geocaching Association Valley cities Geocaching Adventure percent (12%) per year from the time the City demands repayment of the lodging tax revenue, and the City may use any method available to it by law to collect any such funds. 4.

Recipient will feature either the City of Kent logo and web address (KentWA.gov) on business- related event marketing and promotional materials or the Visit Kent logo and web address (VisitKent.com) if the activity is for leisure or entertainment purposes. Use of City logos and web addresses shall be consistent with City policies and procedures, and such policies and procedures are hereby incorporated into this agreement. Permission for the use of City logos may be revoked at any time by the City and such use shall not exceed the term of this agreement unless expressly permitted by the City. 5. Term and Termination.

New geocaches will be hidden in each city and attendees at the event will be required to find a certain number of the new caches and record the code word and/or punch for each cache in order to earn the geocoin that will be given away. Attendees will come for a weekend of full of various geocaching activities, and although many of them will be from the general Puget Sound area, some will travel from British Columbia , the northern part of I-5 to Canada, Oregon, other areas of Washington, and other nearby states. Geocachers love to travel to events and socialize and find geocaches, share stories of their recent adventures, and find other very popular geocaches in the area. Geocaching is enjoyed by all ages, and many families do this as their family hobby. This event will be published on geocaching.com, the national website where geocachers find listing for new geocaches, events, GeoTours etc. for this activity. It will also be publicized throughout the Washington State Geocaching Association website and various chapters, and hopefully published in the various Parks Department booklets published periodically. There is a possibility our organization might be selected to be an official GeoTour, which will include some additional expense (included in our budget) but that would provide much broader marketing to geocachers and the geocaching.com website, the premier location for all things geocaching.
