Viretta Park
 

Description

One of Seattle's many obscure, postage-stamp-sized parks, Viretta Park has become a landmark of sorts in recent years, thanks to association with the late Kurt Cobain, who died in the shingled house to the north of the park. Fans leave flowers and other offerings on the park benches. And Howard Schultz of Starbucks built a controversial mansion south of the park. He landscaped part of the park itself, but under neighborhood pressure, he changed it back.

overrated
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/28/11
We made a special effort to go here and it's not worth it. Way out of the way. small park...just a bench with graffiti on it.

The park
By Toya, 2/7/10
I have visited from SC twice now (Oct. '08 & Apr. '09), and am grateful it is there. Wish there was better parking in the area. Weird that the park is so close to the road and public when Kurt was such a private person and lived so accessible to the world there.

Kurt Memorial
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/4/05
The bench here is the only physical site we have to mourn Kurt Cobain. (How ironic that this site feels this is a travel destination.)
