High on a hill in Capitol Hill, there's a gravesite that draws thousands of visitors from across the globe every year. It belongs to Bruce Lee, the legendary Chinese American martial artist and film star, who was laid to rest here in 1973, just before the release of Enter the Dragon. If you follow the car path and the stone-paved walkway, you'll find him interred alongside his son, Brandon Lee.
It's one of the city's most famous resting places, and the love for the Lee family is still palpable. In 2013, for Bruce's birthday, flowers were piled so high they actually covered the headstones. It's a quiet, powerful spot that connects Seattle to a global cinematic legacy.
