How well do you know your way around the map of Seattle?

Whether you’re a bona fide cartographer or can’t find your way to work without the help of GPS, we’ve created a game for you.

Here’s how it works: We’ll provide you with the address of a popular venue around the city, and you’ll have the choice of four places it could be. You’ll have to choose which venue is correct.

A screenshot showing part of a map on the right side and a question on the left side. The question features an address, 400 Broad Street, and asks readers to choose which venue is located at that address — Pike Place Market, Kerry Park, Seahawks Stadium, or Space Needle. — No cheating — take this quiz without Google Maps pulled up.

When you get to the end of the quiz, we’ll give you an article of ours that we think you might need, regardless of if you aced it or need to spend a little more time with a map.

We’ll share the results and the name of the first person to score 100% (so don’t forget to add your name if you want the credit) in an upcoming newsletter.

What are you waiting for? Try your hand at the quiz below.

The Wrap

Today’s edition by:
Brianna

From the editor

I’ll admit that my own geography skills are pretty abysmal. My trick to getting better at it? Walking everywhere. I’m far more likely to make note of a landmark or street sign when walking past it, rather than driving. (It also helps that I live in Chicago, where I always have Lake Michigan to mark which way is east.)
