Clueball Updates
Most of the time part of the “thrill of the hunt” is not knowing how many clueballs are out in the wild or in stores at any particular time. However, as a conciliation we do provide an update for certain parks each day at 5PM. These are only the balls hidden by the Camano Island Chamber - it does not include balls hidden by businesses in the same parks!
The # next to the Park in (#) by each site will reflect the daily update. We only provide these updates for the following Community Sites: Freedom Park, Church Creek, Heritage Park, Lake Goodwin, Wenberg & Camano Island State Park. This is done once per day around 4:30 PM.
LAST UPDATED: FEB. 21st 4:15PM
