    Beautiful memorial that many come to pay their respects. My friend got me into watching his movies and I have total respect for the legend. Parking there can be a problem if lots arrive at the same time. We paid our respects and moved on so that others can do the same. Rest in peace and love.

    If you wanted to pay homage to one of the worlds first and greatest martial artist in film, make sure you come to pay your respect to Bruce Lee and his son's grave in Seattle. It's pretty easy to find if you have maps or ways, they automatically take you there . Most of the people I know who visit Seattle I always try to make it a point to come visit here. This place is well now, and they even have an accessible ramp leading to the grave and right next to the street. Definitely easy to find and hard to miss. Thank you, Bruce Lee for bringing martial art arts to film.

    Bruce Lee was such an inspiration to so many. I love so many of his quotes and did you know he even wrote poetry?! Here's my favorite of his poems: The doubters said, "Man can not fly," The doers said, "Maybe, but we'll try," And finally soared In the morning glow While non-believers Watched from below. "Your inspiration continues to guide us toward our personal liberation" is inscribed on his headstone and is a lovely tribute. His son Brandon is buried next to him and it's definitely worth a visit - the site is very peaceful with a nice bench if you'd like to stay a while to pay your respects. Their grave sites are on a hill with lovely views of Lake Washington. The cemetery is called Lake View Cemetery and it's in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle near Volunteer Park. The cemetery also holds some of Seattle's founding fathers. 10,000+ people a year visit the grave but it was largely uncrowded during my visit in winter. There were flowers and many trinkets on their graves so there are definitely lots of visitors. The pathways and roads in the cemetery are pretty narrow and there are No Parking signs around the Lee's grave. But there are wider paths nearby with room to park. I've been to Seattle countless times and never knew Bruce & Brandon Lee were buried here! It never came up in any of my trip-planning searches until I went down a Google rabbit hole of historic cemeteries in Seattle lol. I'd say it's a must see - for any Bruce Lee fans especially but even non-fans would enjoy it too.

    One of the things I wanted to do when I came back to Seattle was to pay my respects to the legendary martial artist - Bruce Lee, & his son Brandon Lee. The gravesite is located at the Lake View Cemetery, and although I didn't know exactly where Bruce Lee & his son Brandon were buried, I must say it was pretty easy to find, as their grave site had a pathway, and it is corded off by a black iron guardrail (easy to find). Note: there is no sign indicating on where Bruce Lee & Brandon Lee are buried, so if you're walking around the graveyard, just look for the black iron guardrail that cords off their resting place. I must say the Lake View Cemetery is a very beautiful resting place........ If you're a big fan of Bruce Lee, or his son Brandon Lee, it's worth the trip to visit and pay your respects to them.

    11.30.24 Both men died far too soon, but it's right and appropriate that their final resting places are so close to one another

    Remembering Bruce Lee [Seattle WA] Interred next to his son, Brandon Lee, both father and son, side by side. We came to visit the gravesites on Saturday, 11/30/24, 3 days after Bruce Lee's birthday (Nov 27), he would've been 84 years old. Upon our arrival at the cemetery it wasn't hard to find because it turns out we were not the only ones who wanted to pay respect, there were other fans of Bruce Lee too. The headstones have metal fencing around it and a wheelchair accessible ramp that leads to the gravesites. Parking could be difficult as the streets are a bit tight. I followed Bruce Lee's movie achievements because my brother was a huge fan since his breakout movie, Fist of Fury, found success in the U.S. We watched reruns of The Green Hornet as Kato. Bruce Lee remains the most recognized martial artist of the twentieth century. I don't know much about his son, Brandon Lee, but how tragic and unfortunate to have died so young. Visiting his grave site was one of the things I wanted to accomplish while in Seattle. I was thankful for the opportunity to visit. Review #3617

    Today was my 42nd birthday, and as a present my wife brought me to Bruce Lee's favorite restaurant, and then took me to see his grave. I found it so inspiring that people still come and pay their respects to him and his son. The words on his son's grave were especially touching.when we arrived there was a few other people there so we gave them space to have moment but after they cleared out we had our moments alone with Bruce and Brandon, and I really found a new respect in that.

    I didn't realize Bruce Lee and his son Brandon Lee were buried in Seattle until my visit and looking up things to do. Their gravesites are situated in Lake View Cemetery, next to Volunteer Park, in the middle of the cemetery towards the top of the small hill. Cherry blossoms were in peak bloom during my visit and the picture is from the angle at the gravesite. Glad to have been able to pay my respects to a Chinese legend and his son and on such a beautiful day in Seattle

    I had a crush on him

    I googled top things to do in Seattle and this was on the list, so I figured WHY NOT I was a huge Brandon Lee fan (had a crush on him) So sad that Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee passed away at a young age It was nice to be able to come here and pay homage

    Even though Bruce Lee passed before many of our times and then his son met a tragic end, their contributions through film, martial arts and philosphy have stuck. "Real living is living for others" - Bruce Lee - This quote among many others resonates with me, particularly because of the work I do. I often think of changing my line of work, but I know whatever it may be it will be trying to help others. You can live for yourself, but being able to show an altruistic side is very powerful, perhaps even more or at least comparable to self-improvement. It's all very philosophical and beyond watching Bruce's movies, practicing Martial Arts myself and reading about his philosophies, finding that his memorial site was here, I wanted to make a visit. The site itself is modest. A local warned me that it would be "very crowded". Perhaps at times it is, but on my visit there was a family with 3 or 4 kids bopping around, likely clueless as to whose site they were visiting. They soon left and I was able to get in and read the epitaphs with a couple others trickling in. There is a slight incline leading down, (making it wheelchair accessible) into the area where about 4 adults could stand and a bench to sit on. The area is well cared for, and flowers and other gifts are left at the site by other visitors. The site must be entered through the cemetery entrance. It was a pleasant, peaceful experience.

    Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee Gravesite - Seattle, Washington Bruce Lee...The Man, The Myth I have been a Bruce Lee fan since childhood and even studied Jeet Kune Do. I watched all of Bruce's movies, including the one where most the movie was played by someone else (aka Game of Death). That said...Bruce Lee's gravesite was one of my longtime bookmarks and I finally had the opportunity to visit the site during our last stay in Seattle. Bruce Lee's tombstone is located inside Lake View Cemetery and is a must if you're a Bruce and Brandon Lee fan or just want to pay your respects. Finding the gravesite wasn't too difficult. The gravesite is about halfway to the top of the hill. I saw a handful of people in line taking photos and figured they were taking photos of Bruce Lee's gravesite. I was right. Bruce and Brandon Lee's tombstones are beautifully made. Bruce's tombstone includes a photo of him and what I assume is the book of Jeet Kune Do at the base. There's also a bench dedicated by his wife and daughter. Regardless of whether you're a fan or not, I recommend a visit to Bruce and Brandon Lee's gravesite. 2025 Yelp Review #7

    RIP to the legend. Very humble to visit Bruce Lee's grave site along with his son, Brandon Lee. Google maps did a great job navigating directly to the grave sit. Parking's a little tricky here, there's a do no park sign right next the tombstone. So you'll have to park a little further out and walk over to the site. It's a very beautiful memorial area. My deepest respects.

    Nick P.

    Not sure why people gave it low ratings. It's a gravesite not a tourist attraction. I'm sure people won't like it if people gave low ratings to their relatives' gravesites. Yes parking is limited and narrow. Again, don't be expecting a huge parking lot with a massive flashing sign that points to their memorials. Their memorial was nice, we brought some flowers over. Remember to be respectful.

    Growing up and being a kid in the 80's. I'm a Bruce Lee fan by I guess, default. Watched all his movies. So much wisdom in his words. Life cut too short! I didn't realize he was actually buried in Seattle along with his son, Brandon. Had to check it out while I was here. I walked to the Cemetery so don't follow google or Apple Maps because it'll lead you to the property fence. You'll have to walk around to the entrance! It's a trek depending on where you start. Again, important to know before you go- walking directions from Apple/Google will lead you wrong. Unless you can magically walk thru fences, of course! Ha!

    A fun experience, a bit off the beaten path in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle…read more We ventured from downtown to check out the troll. Very easy access via a city bus route. After a short stroll down a well-designed dirt path, we found the giant troll. The troll is great for photos and has a sign that describes the history of the troll. My kids enjoyed climbing around the area, too. Facing the opposite direction from the troll is a very cool bridge that creates some awesome cathedral-like architecture. There is lots to do in Fremont, and even though the troll is kind of a one-and-done deal, it's worth checking out simply to explore the rest of the neighborhood and awesome surrounding businesses. Enjoy your troll hunt!

It's a great destination to bring out-of-town visitors--like me--to check out another troll! As a fan of the whimsical trolls created by Thomas Dambo, this was a must-see. Street parking is available nearby, making it an easy stop while exploring the neighborhood. I'd personally recommend not climbing on the troll due to safety concerns, although many people were doing so when we visited. Either way, it's a unique photo opportunity and a classic Seattle experience.

The…read moreviews are absolutely breathtaking--truly one of those experiences where you find yourself stopping just to take it all in. Seeing Seattle from that height gives you a completely new appreciation for the city and its surroundings. What made the visit even more enjoyable was the staff. Every employee I encountered was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and genuinely pleasant. Their warmth made the experience feel even more special, and it was clear they take pride in creating a positive atmosphere for visitors. One observation I did have relates to the elevator experience. It has been two years since my last visit, and unfortunately, the elevator's video system is still not functioning. I remember when the observatory first opened, and the video played during the ride up--it added an engaging and memorable element to the experience. Without it, the ride feels noticeably less enjoyable. Interestingly, others seemed to feel the same way. I mentioned how long the video system has been out of service while riding up, and a couple riding up with us--visiting from Australia--commented that it would have been nice to have something to watch during the ascent. As an alternative, it might be a wonderful opportunity for the elevator operator to share a few interesting facts during the ride up. A brief, engaging introduction--highlighting that this is the tallest building in Seattle, along with a bit of history about its construction and facts about its tenants--could really enhance the experience and help pass the time in a meaningful way. Additionally, with all three video screens currently not working and visibly cracked, addressing this issue would make a noticeable difference. Either repairing or replacing the screens--or even temporarily covering them--would create a much more polished and welcoming feel for visitors and help elevate the overall experience. You can't beat the view though!

The experience felt much more laid back, with fewer crowds and plenty of space to take in the views. It is also technically taller than the Space Needle. The observatory floor goes all the way around and has lots of helpful information and displays explaining what you're looking at, which made the experience more engaging than simply taking photos from an observation deck. There's also a café w/ bar upstairs, making it easy to relax and spend some time enjoying the scenery. One of the biggest advantages is that you get incredible panoramic views of Seattle including the Space Needle itself, which makes for some great photo opportunities. We got lucky and it was a beautiful afternoon and were able to watch the sunset from there. Between the views, the atmosphere, and the overall value, this ended up being one of my favorite stops in Seattle.

After we arrived, we were put in line to go up to the top for more than an hour. The entire place has very tight quarters and was absolutely jam-packed with people.

I rode the glass sided elevator up, and it moved quickly, giving me a preview of the view before I reached the observation deck, which is worth being prepared for if heights give you pause. The observation deck itself has been substantially renovated, and the result is one of the more engaging viewing platforms of any major landmark in the country. I stood on the glass floor section, included with standard admission, and that element gets the most attention for good reason. Standing on clear glass with the city visible directly beneath my feet produced a vertigo that is different from simply looking over a railing. The rotating floor moves slowly and continuously, giving me a full 360 degree view of Seattle over the course of my visit without requiring me to move around the deck. On a clear day the view extends to Mount Rainier, the Olympic Mountains, and Elliott Bay, and the surrounding landscape puts the city in a geographic context that is genuinely striking. Sunset is the most popular time to visit, and the views in that window justify the demand. Buying tickets online in advance and reserving a time slot is effectively necessary during busy periods, and the time slot covers your place in line rather than your exact arrival at the top, so building in some flexibility is sensible. Lines can be long, particularly on weekends, but the operation moved efficiently once I was through the entry process. For an iconic Seattle experience that delivers on its reputation, the Space Needle is worth the trip.
