A fascinating story exists just below Seattle�s surface; buried in the city�s many historic cemeteries. Founded in 1872 on land acquired from Doc Maynard; Lake View Cemetery holds the remains of one of Seattle�s favorite sons; Bruce Lee; whose son Brandon Lee is buried beside him. Maynard is also buried here; along with most of the Seattle pioneers; including the Dennys; Borens; Maynards; Yeslers; and Morans. Princess Angeline; Chief Sealth�s daughter; was buried here in a canoe-shaped coffin; and Madame Damnable�s remains supposedly turned to stone. Evergreen-Washelli Cemetery; founded in 1884 by the Denny family; contains Judge Thomas Burke; known as �the man who built Seattle�; a Veterans� Memorial Cemetery dating from the Civil War; and two cannons from the USS Constitution; famously nicknamed �Old Ironsides.� Mount Pleasant Cemetery; founded in 1883 in Queen Anne; is the final resting place of the labor martyrs of the Everett Massacre and William Bell; of Belltown fame. Remembrance benches for Nirvana�s Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix�s memorial are also local landmarks.
