Approximately 500 Union Army Civil War veterans are buried at the Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery Park on Seattle’s Capitol Hill. (Feliks Banel) The cemetery is now a park owned by the City of Seattle, and maintained with help from volunteers. (Feliks Banel) The cemetery dates to the 1890s, and many of the headstones are worn down by years of exposure to the elements. (Feliks Banel) An obelisk stands as a monument IN MEMORY OF OUR HEROES. (Feliks Banel) Just steps away from Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery Park, the Robert E. Lee Memorial at Lake View Cemetery is visible through the chainlink fence.

(Feliks Bane) The compact cemetery is a public park tucked into a neighborhood on the north part of Capitol Hill in Seattle. (Feliks Banel) Several of the graves are from the 1920s, the same era when many Confederate memorials, including the one next door at Lake View Cemetery, were dedicated. (Feliks Banel)
