13 Days of Halloween: Historic Seattle Graves
In addition to graphic design and movies, another one of my passions is history. In particular I am very interested in the history of my city, Seattle. In the spirit of Halloween here’s some pictures of the grave stones of some of the more famous of Seattle’s founders and residents.
These can be found at the beautiful Lake View Cemetery. It’s a good place for reflection and contemplating the finite nature of our existence and also reflecting on the history of the city and the people who lived here.
