    I can't say I was a Hendrix fan, but I liked some of the music he created. He was too "far out" for me mostly. Hendrix was born in Seattle first with the name Johnny Allen Hendrix which apparently was later changed to James Marshall Hendrix. He was born on November 27, 1942, 2 years to the day after another star, Bruce Lee, who is also buried in Seattle.

    Hendrix is buried in Greenwood Memorial Park, Renton, WA (King Country).

    Jimi Hendrix Memorial: Jimi Hendrix gravesite
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is a bit off the beaten path but if you drive Renton, WA on a clear day, you will have the most specatular view of Mt. Ranier. And while you're there you can visit Jimi Hendrix resting place.

    Greenwood Memorial Park Cemetery
    350 Monroe NE Renton, WA

    It doesn't get nearly the visitors that Jim Morrison's grave does in Paris but for Hendrix fans it's kind of cool. The day I there, 2 kids (probably just graduated from high school) were hanging out and we got to talking about Hendrix and the impact he had on blues and rock & roll. As I left, one of them yelled out, "Hey mister, you can hang out and get stoned with us if you want to." I politly declined as I had quite a drive back to Seattle but when I got in the car, did I laugh.

    Jimi Hendrix Memorial: Is there a Henrick's Memorial?
  • Tip Rating:
  • Probably there is, we did not search this out. But did drive by this statue of Hendricks mounted to the a sidewalk. There are many tributes to individuals here and there throughout the city. It's very cool, you should take the time to see who they are when you see one. Someone left a tulip on this day in Jimmy's mouth.
