Judging from the Mapquest info, step #10 below should say "turn
right onto 17th Ave West" and #11 should have appended to it "...
cross Bertona St., where 17th Ave becomes Thorndyke Ave W".

> 10 - TURN RIGHT onto Thorndyke Ave West
> 
> 11 - STRAIGHT for 1.25 blocks
> 
> 12 - Geospiza is on your left: 3411 Thorndyke Avenue West

I've reproduced the original directions below.

WARNING: I have no real experience in traveling to this location, and
Mapquest data is not infallible.
