Famous local resident


When the Woman was searching things of interest in the Seattle area, she learned that Jimi Hendrix was buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Renton, one of the many suburbs of Seattle. Born in the Seattle area, he was buried in this cemetery because his mother, Zenora Rose, was buried here as well.


Being only about 10 miles away (half hour drive in Seattle traffic) we headed to see his memorial. It was huge! The Purple Haze influence was everywhere. A massive guitar was the centerpiece, surrounded by stone etchings of Jimi Hendrix playing his beloved music. It was a fun visit we would recommend if you’re ever in the area.


Talk to you soon.
