Additional information:
This totem pole has been removed by the City of Bellingham Parks Department since ~2018 as it was quasi secluded and subject to vandalism.
It has since been relocated to a trailhead 1.5km away, and it’s also a waypoint at its current new location (since 2019)

I hope this is sufficient. Like I said the totem pole is a waypoint appearing in PoGo in its correct location, so this waypoint should be removed. Thank you.
