What people are saying:
Bruce Lee and his son are buried at this cemetery so it's very well-visited, especially during the summer. The name is self-explanatory, there are views of the lake by the cemetery and it's a really well-kept and clean area in a luxurious neighborhood.

Additional Information
Introduction
You don't have to be a fan of the macabre to find this cemetery interesting to explore. The graveyard, called Lakeview because of its fascinating panorama of Lake Washington to the east, holds the bodies of many of Seattles pioneers, notables and celebrities, including Princess Angeline (daughter of Chief Seattle), three Denny Party members (Seattle pioneers), William Grose (the second black resident of Seattle), and Bruce Lee and his son Brandon Lee (actors of the kung-fu variety). But even if you are not here to pay your respects to Seattle's legends, the graveyard is a calm and beautiful place for a thoughtful stroll.

You are probably wondering why i would ever recommend a cemetery for a trip to Seattle but this is no ordinary cemetery. The Greatest Martial Artist of all time is buried here!!! Bruce Lee and his son Brandon Lee are both buried side by side with red and black marble headstones. Every day people from the area walk through the cemetery to lay flowers at his grave and tourists from all over go to visit. On the day i visited i met a man who traveled all the way from Belgium to see him and take pictures. If at first you cant locate his plot, ask a local walking by, they know who and what you are there to see and would gladly walk you to the Dragon's grave.
A visit to Seattle is not complete without paying tribute to Bruce Lee, the martial art legend who has brought together the east and west and is largely responsible for globalization of the eastern martial arts. I was expecting a gigantic tribute to the Kungfu legend and his son Brandon in the cemetery, but their grave is actually very subtle and insignificant we would have missed it if not for other visitors, which in many ways increased my respect for him.
This is the resting ground for philosopher, martial arts master, entertainer, & icon Bruce Lee & his son Brandon Lee. It was interesting to get a chance to visit Hong Kong, his longtime home, & Seattle. "Be like water. Water can be soft. In can be flexible & fit into a cup. In can be hard & crash."
Came here to see Bruce Lee. I love Bruce Lee and the fiance and I paid our respects TWICE during our time in Seattle.Bruce/Brandon Lee are located up the hill near the flag pole. If you're looking for them - then go towards the flag pole.They have a beautiful grave site and a seat for you to look at them and reflect your life.There are two other people buried near them and it's sad that they don't get the attention too.Clean place. Very eerie but all cemeteries are like that.
