Special trip with my teenage son to see Bruce and Brandon Lee graves. It was really easy to get to the cemetery on public transportation. Graves are up a hill with a small bench beside them. There were no other visitors when we went. It was little emotional for me. I grew up watching Bruce Lee and seeing the grave touched me. Great moment I shared with my son. We walked around the cemetery before we left. It is very well kept.

Bruce Lee is buried in Lake View Cemetery next to his son Brandon, who died in 1993. Next to Volunteer Park in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood lies a spot that’s visited by 10,000 people every year. Through the gates of Lake View Cemetery and halfway up a hill with clear views of Lake Washington, the space is shielded by evergreen shrubs. This is where Bruce Lee, legendary Chinese American martial artist and film star, was laid to rest in 1973. His grave is not only a Seattle tourist attraction but a national and global pilgrimage site. Lee was 32 years old when he died from a brain swelling caused by an allergic reaction to painkillers. But in many ways he lives on still. Since his death, visitors have come to his grave, alone and in tour groups. So many people visit, said cemetery manager George Nemeth Jr., that shrubs were planted around the grave to prevent visitors from trampling on the other graves in the cemetery. Even on cloudy days, the grave is rarely without a visitor. People coming to pay their respects blanket the graves of Lee and his son, Brandon Bruce Lee, who is buried next to him, with offerings: figurines, crystals, candles, flowers, oranges, notes, money from around the world. A 2014 exhibit at the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience, titled Do You Know Bruce?, displays some of the items. Dog tags, shirts, drawings, heartfelt letters and a first-place medal from the New Jersey Martial Arts Academy are displayed just inside the entrance to the exhibit. There’s even a pair of nunchaku, made famous by Lee, who deployed them with brutal precision in his movies.

I am glad I was able to visit and have a tremendous amount of respect and feel humbled. Martial arts has always been a part of my life and Bruce and Brandon meant the world to me growing up. It was not crowded, everyone was respectful and lake view cemetery is beautiful.

Beautiful cemetery with easy location to find Bruce and Brandon Lee’s resting place. It was interesting to walk around and see other grave sites and give reverence to those who have passed.

I went in August 2022, it was a perfect day and sunny. It is a beautiful and peaceful cemetery and appears well maintained. Hours posted say until 8PM but Google mentions differently, so not sure which is accurate. It was nice to pay respects and that there is a ramp entrance so people can allow others to have privacy as they pay their respects.

Loved visiting BRUCE and Brandon gravesites ..... there is a pathway to it thier gravesites ....people can drive up to their gravesites or there is public transportation bus stop nearby at cemetery entrance and the #10 bus stops here and short walk in .... its well worth it to visit here to visit BRUCE and Brandon and rest of the cemetery is nice too ...... there can be a bit of a lineup to visit there gravesites sometimes but it moves fast , thier gravesites are very popular to visit here with visitors .

I've gone here for over 20yrs. It's still somber as he was my hero as a kid. Even to this day, he hold so much influence in my life. His philosophy was amazing. Brandon's death was also unfortunate. Pay respects to both of them when there.

"The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering." Bruce Lee. Bruce did more in his short 32 years of life than most of us can even imagine. It makes you ask questions of your own life, like: What truly brings me joy and fulfillment? What are my core values, and am I living in alignment with them? Am I cultivating meaningful connections and relationships?What are my long-term goals, and how can I work towards them? How do I handle challenges and setbacks? What can I do to contribute positively to those around me? What skills or knowledge do I want to acquire or develop? Am I living authentically and true to myself, or am I trying to meet others' expectations? What brings a sense of meaning to my life, and how can I incorporate more of it? Coming here to pay my respects to Bruce and his son was always a thing I wanted to do. Also, just beyond the guard rails, you need to stop by Jesse Glover & Ed Hart's graves. They weren't just disciples of Bruce, but wonderful martial artists, and from what I've heard, great people at heart. Anyone who calls themself a fan should stop by and pay their respects to them as well. Most importantly, when you come here, don't just pay your respects to a man like a distant God, bring them closer to you, by doing what they did, and live your life to the fullest!

This is an amazing spot to visit. To know that the legend Bruce Lee is buried here along with his son Brandon! I recommend you visit. The location is beautiful Cherry blossem trees. May they RIP!🙏

How can you really rate a graveside? If you're a Bruce Lee fan, you have to come and pay your respects. It's a quiet cemetery, up in Lake View and away from anything loud or touristy. Flowers were left by many, and there is a bench in front where you can sit and reflect on the tombstones of this phenomenal person and his son, both dead far too soon.

Didn't think I would ever review a grave, but here we are. If you have to be buried, not a bad resting place to be at. Such a cool memorial to a father/son duo. There is a little bench to sit on, and you may have to wait a moment to take a photo of the grave. Panoramic views of Lake Washington and Cascades in the distance.

Most importantly this is a cemetery, so please be respectful. When reaching this area you will most likely see a line of people also waiting to see this gravsite. Bring water to hydrate and be patient. If you use Google Maps to get here, the entrance is on the east side. On foot, Google Maps will have you walk across Volunteer Park, but the cemetery is surrounded by a fence. It was exciting and very sad to be here. Although Bruce Lee was before my time, I grew up watching Brandon Lee on the screen and it's never too late to learn who these men were and how they continue to inspire people everywhere. The graves were surrounded by not only beautiful flowers, but beautiful people / fans. The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.

First of all I must mention that the only entrance to the grave yard is from 15th Avenue. Since Google Maps directed me an entrance from Howe Street I tried that entrance once but It was closed. It was a very special visit for me because I used to watch all Bruce Lee films. I sat in front of them for a while thinking of the good memories I had with them.

Located at Lake View Cemetery in Seattle WA. The gravesite is on a hillside cordoned off by a pathway and chains. Very somber humble place. My Great Aunt was good friends with Bruce’s Mother so I wanted to pay my respects. Unfortunately there three younger guys who did not me allow me my time. (They are in the last photo) When they were at the site I noticed they picked up items that previous visitors had left on both Bruce’s and Brandon’s gravesite. 🙄 This was So disrespectful!!! What is wrong with Millennials and Gen Z’s Like this is Not a photo op this is play to give respect and honor! And you DON’T touch items left for him freaking get over yourself Idiots! This is a great place to give homage to a great Gung Fu Master!

Finally! Can finally cross this off my bucket list. These two have been two of my biggest inspirations. It was nice to finally see them. The grave yard in general was cool looking yard. We saw a lot of tombstones that had Chinese writing on it. We plan to visit them again and bring them something nice :)

Very nice cemetery. While exploring discovery park I saw that Bruce Lee was buried at this cemetery. Having grown up watching his movies of course I had to stop by. No idea his connection as to why he was buried in Seattle but the area was well cared for. There were flowers and it definitely brought back childhood memories.

Located halfway up a hill with views of Lake WA. I read that Lee died from an allergic reaction to painkillers which caused his brain to swell. Sad! His grave is of course a tourist attraction. People come for many reasons. Some come to see a famous grave, some have a martial arts connection, and others just stumble upon it at the cemetery. Whatever reason, please be respectful!

The Lee grave is currently behind a fence, but you can see it. Everything else is good to go. This is a really cool graveyard. Be careful though. They changed their times, but did not update online. I went there 4pm on a Monday. The gate was unlocked and I strolled in to find other people there too. I stayed until 450pm and somehow got locked inside. I called the office and no one answered because they were closed. I had to slide through a hole in the fence. Call ahead to see what their hours are. Thats why 4 stars. The Lee graves deserve the full 5, but me having to slide down an embankment through a hole in a chain link fence because management can't update hours on Google loses them one star.

Legends in their lifetime, heros of the silver screen. Visiting Seattle can't be complete unless you visit Bruce and Brandon's graves. We stopped here to visit these two people who will be remembered for lifetimes to come. A time to pay quiet respects.

Really cool experience and stellar view of the East Bay. However when I went the site was gated, and I think it will be for the foreseeable. Also don't try and park in the cemetery park on the streets outside. Cemetery roads are crazy narrow and since it's so popular there, on a regular day parking would be impossible and have a chill time. I had a problem with this and it was a pandemic/no crowds. But overall amazing experience. Go to this place when in Seattle.

Must go and see. For any fan of martial arts, going to this legendary man's gravesite is a pilgrimage of respect. That his son's grave is there as well makes this a heartfelt tribute to this famous family.

I started a tradition where I look up the graves of celebrities and or famous people I the area that I travel too and in Seattle it was the iconic Bruce and Brandon Lee. Experience was cool. There were some unique characters visiting but overall really nice find. Was not hard and the tombstones were very unique.

Very nice place! Great memorial for them on top of the hill, it's kept up and well maintained. Nice view and peaceful grounds. Highly recommend a stop.

Beautifully set graves of two legends.

They must be reconstructing this site. There were fences and other signs of work being done. This could be so much nicer. The cemetery itself is beautiful and well kept with pavilion and nice grounds. Still worth a visit.

So peaceful in a tranquil cemetery. Upkeep is on point. Lovely!

I can’t believe how much he accomplished in just 33 years! The area is kept up well, and it was a privilege to see his resting place. RIP.

Being there feels like time stopped and we went back in the story of a great actor, rather the best of martial arts in the entire world.

We visited on the 20th and we were feeling this awesome vibe before during and after the visit. Wasn't paying attention at the time as I answered questions from my son but then it kicked in. it was the exact date that Bruce Lee had died. The grave site is immaculate and well taken care of. Many people taking pics and talking about the legend and his son. A bench was donated by his wife Linda and daughter Sharon. I myself am a wing chun practitioner and started recalling the stories Grandmaster William Chung's told us about them being chased out of Hong Kong due to fighting and coming to the United States to get away and start a new life. Great day for a visit and an item taken off my bucket list!! Watch for the crow that stays near Brandon's grave site, got goosebumps when it would caw at us...

That is a beautiful grave yard. I finally made the trip to Bruce Lee's grave to pay my respects for the massive contribution to Martial arts that he and his son made. The trees were blooming, the view of the city is nice. There is a great museum and view tower next door.

I've been a fan of Bruce Lee and his son Brandon for many many years and I was saddened at the news of both of their deaths. But it's nice to know that their grave site is a place where people can come and feel a sense of connection with Bruce Lee and his son Brandon.

Quiet and subdued. The gravesite is dignified and drawns a slow but steady stream of devotees. It is well worth a visit, but do not plan on staying long.

Very peaceful place to pay a visit to the Legendary Bruce Lee.

This is to mark, I was there to see the legend and his son all the way from India. When I went there it was not crowded. Saturday afternoon. I parked my car inside cemetery. You could park nearby parking area and walk here.

It was amazing stumbling onto the place, me and a buddy just wanted to visit a cemetery to see if we can find 1940 to 1950 Graves but found that Bruce and Brandon Lee are buried here. It was an honor to read the engraving on the grave and truly a devastation they had died so young.

A beautiful place where the legend & his son was laid to rest. Some people drove and park their cars to visit. You can also take a bus to get there & walk a little bit around the neighborhood.

Beautiful, maintained, small tranquil cemetery in a residential area. Very old, elaborate head stone's though out the park, some dating to 1800s. Compatible to Hollywood Forever cemetery in Hollywood CA. The Bruce and Brandon Lee sites make this visit very special.

Glad we got a chance to visit their graves. There were a few people there at that time. It is a big cemetery overlooking the lake Washington. We went there using an uber and had to ask the direction from a gardener as there is no signage or any direction closer to the entrance or anywhere else. You just need to find it or ask someone. No tickets to go there. Their graves are in the cemetery and no need to pay to go in.

I like how it looks since the construction has been done but with all the rain the area was covered in grass debris but still appreciate the fact that I can still visit thank you always.

It was nice to finally see their resting place.

I took an Uber to the cemetery and my driver had no idea where to drop me off, so he let me out at the entrance. There’s no signage to locate the grave, so I just walked the bath until I could find it based on other reviewer’s photos. It’s on a hill further into the cemetery; probably easier to veer left at the fork, follow the road around the bend toward the right make a horseshoe turn, then look for the metal hand rails around three headstones.

Paid my respects on Bruce Lee’s 83rd birthday. Each time i visit there is always awesome people to talk to and learn how Bruce Lee affected their life in a positive way.

Just make your way up the hill and pay respects to the 🐐. Fifty years since he passed and still over 10000 visitors a year. Every action/superhero movie since 1973 has been influenced by him. Very sad final resting place as he is buried with his son who was tragically killed at age 28. Bruce's mother in law is buried there as well.

Was good and clean and safe and if you don’t have car you can take the bus number 10 to downtown

Longview cemetery was incredible, I could have stayed for twice as long except I needed to find coffee and a bathroom.

(Translated by Google) Frankly for a Legend like Bruce LEE and his son Brandon in The Crow sleeping three feet from the road, no wall or bush between them, that makes me despair. Not to mention the work fences next door. A cemetery that is too basic and lacks maintenance. I imagined seeing them at the top of a hill surrounded by bamboo or under a large century-old tree. Otherwise yes, for all fans of Bruce Lee, if you pass by Seattle, go for a ride to pay a little tribute to our Legend. R.I.P Big Brother 😔 (Original) Franchement pour une Légende telle que Bruce LEE et son fils Brandon dans The Crow qui dorment à un mètre de la route, aucun mur ou buisson qui les sépare, ça me désespère. Sans parler des grillages de travaux à côté. Un cimetière trop basique et manque d'entretien. J'imaginais les voir en haut d'une colline entourée de bambou ou sous un grand arbre centenaire. Sinon oui, pour tous les fans de Bruce Lee, si vous passez par Seattle, allez faire un tour pour rendre un petit hommage à notre Légende. R.I.P Big Brother 😔

Very cool to see. Really good views of the area

I love there resting place and the whole cemetery itself... very peaceful and beautiful

Absolutely loved it. Been wanting to go there since I was a teenager

So cool

Cool place to visit.

(Translated by Google) BECAUSE YOU CAN GOOD EXPENSIVE IT'S AN AGREEMENT THAT WAS SO MANY TIMES BEFORE THE NEW SEASON SET (Original) BECAUSE I KAN GODT BLIVE DYRT DET EN AFTALE DER VAR SÅ MANGE GANGE FØR DEN NYE SÆSON SAT

The hours is diferent in winter and stay in construction

R.I.P Bruce Lee 11/27/1940 - 7/20/1973 Along with His son Brandon Lee 🙏🏻

(Translated by Google) Magical and nostalgic to think that sensei Lee walked on those streets (Original) Mágico y nostálgico de pensar que x esas calles camino el sensei Lee

Always an honor to visit

Wonderfully peaceful place.😎

(Translated by Google) Together the LEE great figures of TV. (Original) Juntos los LEEgrandes figuras de la TV.

I love Bruce Lee.

Very popular tourist location.

Beautiful

Nice tourist attraction. You can drive right up to the graves. It was a bit crowded since the space is very tight.

Really cool and fun place for friends.

The Legends final resting spot. Must see.

I've gone here for over 20yrs. It's still somber as he was my hero as a kid. Even to this day, he hold so much influence in my life. His philosophy was amazing. Brandon's death was also unfortunate. Pay respects to both of them when there.

Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee graves ,located at lakeview cemetery Seattle Washington.

Interesting to visit once, well maintained site and accessible on weekends.

Very touching.

Easy to find, well maintained roads, and very clean.

(Translated by Google) nothingness.. (Original) 허무..

First time go there i like it a lot

Park a little bit away and walk up so your vehicle doesn't obstruct peoples photos

It was difficult to find in the cemetery even though I had a rough idea where to look. Google maps from Wisconsin to Seattle Washington to the cemetery worked great.

Interesting but surrounded by chain link fencing & the gardens were all dug-up with the backhoe or whatever tractor unavoidable in every photo .. the grass was unkept, brown & dead.

The best master ever! Respect!👊😔

🙏
