Cimetière de Lakeview

Cimetière de Lakeview, Cemetery in Capitol Hill, Seattle, United States.

Lake View Cemetery is a private burial ground in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, just north of Volunteer Park. Its grassy lawns hold grey granite and marble monuments among tall evergreen trees, including a square marker with a stepped base and urn, an upright stone with rough rocky faces and an oval recessed panel, and a flat low slab. The far-right monument bears the inscription "GIESE".

St. John's Lodge No. 9, Seattle's oldest Masonic lodge, founded the cemetery in 1872 on land bought from pioneer Doc Maynard. It was later renamed for its view of Lake Washington to the east. Denny Party pioneers, including Arthur A. Denny and Carson Boren, were buried here.

The cemetery was renamed for its view of Lake Washington to the east. Bruce Lee's grave draws thousands yearly; on his birthday in 2013, forty years after his death, flowers piled as high as the headstones. The Nisei War Memorial Monument, a 21-foot column erected in 1949, lists 47 Japanese American soldiers from Seattle killed in World War II.

The cemetery is private property run by a non-profit association and lies just north of Volunteer Park in Capitol Hill, with entrances off 15th Avenue East and East Prospect Street. The Bruce and Brandon Lee graves draw crowds, especially around July 20 and November 27; Kurt Cobain was refused burial here because of the visitor numbers. The Nisei War Memorial Monument, a 21-foot column from 1949, stands in its own section.

Two martial artists from a famous family rest here side by side, and their burial sites draw people throughout the year who leave flowers and personal items. A tall stone column in another section honors soldiers of Japanese descent who fell during World War II.
