#Cemeteryphotos Challenge by melinda010100@melinda010100

I saw this fun challenge by melinda010100@melinda010100, and decided to participate.

I am generally creeped out by cemeteries (don't know why, just do), but when one of my fellow PhD students - a specialist on death in the Pacific Northwest - offered a tour of Lakeview Cemetery as a special Halloween tour, I decided to take it.

Seattle's Lakeview cemetery is probably one of the most scenic cemeteries in Washington State. Perched atop Capitol Hill, it offers views of both Lake Washington, and the Puget Sound.

From the cemetery, you can also catch a glimpse of Seattle's Space Needle:

Aside from views, it is also the final resting spot of many famous Seattleites, from founding fathers, to celebrities:

Princess Angeline - daughter of Chief Sealth, whom Seattle is named after:

But probably the most famous tombstone in Lakeview Cemetery, is this - Bruce & Brandon Lee:

It is a very interesting cemetery. If you happen to be in Seattle, do pop by for a visit!
