Enjoy July and the Self Guided Washelli Cemetery Historical Walking Tour

There are five weekends in July 2011. In honor of Park and Recreation Month, plan to visit a local park, trail, playground, swimming pool, natural area or other public space every weekend.

This month, we invite you to visit the largest cemetery in Seattle, Evergreen Washelli Memorial Park. Evergreen Washelli is a final resting place for many historical and notable persons. It is most easily recognized by the rows of towering trees lining both sides of Aurora. Drop by to pick up a self guided tour guide at the Evergreen Washelli office, 11111 Aurora Avenue North, or click here: Self Guided Walking Tour

Check out what reviewers are saying about Evergreen Washelli Memorial Park on Yelp:

“Want to get away from it all? Want to lose the crowds yet be surrounded by people? Want a nice quiet spot on Aurora to eat lunch and contemplate the meaning of life? This is it. There are several sections to this park. I like the war memorial area and also the place where the old timers are buried.”

“It is a nice, peaceful place to take a walk, contemplate life in a serene setting, or just get some exercise because there are some hills in this place!”

“I really enjoy walking through here and I regularly see other people riding their bikes, walking their dogs, or jogging through here so I’m happy to know that other people frequent this place and treat it like a park.”

“I just like strolling around through it. It’s quite peaceful, and is like a park without the swingset.”
