jimi hendrix grave

seattle landmark

At first Seattle native Jimi Hendrix was buried in a family plot in the Greenwood Memorial Park in Renton WA outside of Seattle. This is a picture of my three boys when they were much younger at Jimi's grave.

Imagine my surprise when I returned several years later and found that the burial site had been transformed into an edifice. The simple marker was replaced by a huge to do. A bona fide tourist attraction. Sad really. I liked the nondescript grave site myself.
