Garden of Remembrance

The Garden of Remembrance is a memorial site in downtown Seattle with stone walls engraved with the names of military service members from Washington state who died in service since World War II. The site is located next to the Seattle Symphony headquarters and is open to visitors throughout the year.

The memorial was dedicated in 1998 as a tribute to service members who died in conflicts following World War II. Multiple granite panels document the names of those from Washington who gave their lives.

This place serves as a gathering point for the community during Veterans Day and Memorial Day, when people come to place flowers and share in remembrance. The ceremonies that take place here show how residents honor and maintain their connection to those who served.

The memorial is centrally located and easily accessible on foot from Second Avenue and University Street, making it convenient for all visitors. The surroundings offer typical urban amenities and the site can be visited in any weather.

Water features in the garden create shifting patterns that change with the sun throughout the day, giving the memorial different moods. These flowing elements add a subtle sense of movement to an otherwise quiet space of remembrance.
