4. How to Participate: Snow Globe Hunt Rules. To participate, read the daily written clues provided on the City of Washougal social media starting December 16. All clues will be released on social media for each of the three snow globes, one per day, at 10 a.m. each day until Friday of each week, or until the globe is found. An announcement will be made on social media when each globe is found. Hunters are NOT permitted to communicate with staff or volunteers from the City of Washougal for additional clue clarification, advice or assistance with hunting. The treasure to be found is an average-sized snow globe (4-5-inch diameter) that will be placed in some type of additional packaging. The treasure will not be buried, and no structure or object will need to be disturbed to find it. Do not dig for the snow globes or otherwise damage/destroy any plants or structures at the park, and snow globes will not be hidden in any community garden spaces.

All snow globes will be hidden in parks or trails that are open to the public. The snow globes may be concealed but will not be hidden in places that require damaging the park/trail in any way. You do not need to dig underground or destroy anything to access the snow globes, and doing so is prohibited and may violate city code. Abide by park hours and rules for any property on which you are hunting. Do not hunt on property that is not open to the public. Hunters must be respectful of others’ privacy, property, person, and wildlife.
