Lake View Cemetery Tour (August 27)

Join us on August 27 as we explore one of Seattle's oldest and most notable historic sites, Capitol Hill's Lake View Cemetery. As perhaps Seattle's most famous cemetery, Lake View is the final resting place of many prominent early Seattleites, including Chief Seattle's daughter Kikisoblu, also known as Princess Angeline, and the Denny, Maynard, Mercer, and Yesler families. We will explore their stories, along with those of the notorious Madam Damnable, beloved martial artists and actors, Bruce and Brandon Lee, and more. Those on the tour will also gain insight into the history of the cemetery itself, as well as its place in the wider surrounding neighborhood.

The tour will be led by local attorney and history enthusiast Jared Steed, who has previously led historical tours for Atlas Obscura, Rotary Club of Seattle, and the People's Memorial Association.

The tour will begin at 10:30 a.m. and end at roughly 12:30…
