Everyone can see the coordinates unless the taxon is threatened.
Obscured
Public coordinates shown as a random point within 10KM of the true coordinates. True coordinates are only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation.
private
Coordinates completely hidden from public maps, true coordinates only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation. Observations with private coordinates will still be used to verify place check lists.
Its not a polychaete worm, its an insect of some sort. I found it in a discarded tire near the top of the hill in the Duwamish Greenbelt and have no doubt that its an arthropod, not an annelid. "Beetle larva" sounds promising, I'd like to hear more about that.
Funny, I guess I should have paid attention to the map. It was next to your crab observation so I assumed it was from the same place. The head of this guy looks very similar to a nereid polychaete worm to someone with marine inverts on their brain!
The data quality assessment is a summary of an observation's accuracy. All
observations start as "casual" grade, and achieve
"research" grade when
the iNat community agrees with the observer's ID, where an "agreeing"
identification is one that matches exactly or is of a child taxon of the
observer's ID. For example, if Scott says it's a mammal and Ken-ichi
says it's Homo sapiens, then Ken-ichi agrees with Scott.
the observation has a date
the observation is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates)
the observation has a photo
Observations will revert to "casual" grade if the above conditions aren't met or
the community agrees the location doesn't looks accurate (e.g. monkeys in the middle of the ocean, hippos in office buildings, etc.)
the community agrees the organism isn't wild/naturalized (e.g. captive or cultivated by humans or intelligent space aliens)

It's a polychaete worm? Wow, I would have thought it was a beetle larva.

FYI, it was very small, maybe a quarter of an inch. I have a microscope attachment for my iPhone.

It reminded me vaguely of a click beetle larva (Elateridae), but I'm probably way off.
