Comet Lodge Cemetery

The Comet Lodge graveyard on Beacon Hill in Seattle, Washington is situated just east of Interstate 5 on the hill's western slope, on South Graham Street between 21st and 23rd Avenues South. The cemetery was established in the 1800s as the sacred burial grounds for the Duwamish Nation. Seattle's ear

liest settlers followed. The monuments, headstones, and grave markers etched with history, are cenotaphs marking nothing after the burial grounds were bulldozed by the City of Seattle on November 2, 1987.
