Viretta Park, Public park in Denny-Blaine neighborhood of Seattle, United States
Viretta Park is a green space in Seattle's Denny-Blaine neighborhood situated above Lake Washington Boulevard with pathways, seating areas, and sloped terrain. The site features quiet spots with views overlooking the surroundings and water below.
Charles L. Denny established this green space and named it after his wife Viretta Chambers Denny during Seattle's early growth period. The location has remained a gathering place since its founding.
Wooden benches throughout the park function as an informal memorial where music fans leave messages and tributes year-round.
The park is accessible through stairways that lead to the intersection of 39th and John Street, with Lake Washington Boulevard marking the lower boundary. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the terrain is hilly and involves walking.
This location accumulates various items and handwritten messages left by visitors from around the world. These spontaneous offerings tell personal stories from people whose lives were touched by the music.
