Description:
- With sweeping views embracing north Seattle, Lake Union and Lake Washington, this burial ground is probably the most spectacular graveyard in the city. There aren't too many trees to obstruct the view, just a few to shelter mourners. Many of Seattle's pioneers are buried here, including Princess Angeline (daughter of Chief Sealth), Dexter Horton, Doc Maynard and his wife, Catherine, who outlived her liquor-loving husband by more than 30 years. Kung fu fans also flock to the graves of movie hero Bruce Lee and his son, actor Brandon Lee. Even if the dead do not intrigue you, this is a lovely spot for a stroll.
