Tucked away on Capitol Hill, north of Volunteer Park, is one of Seattle's most visited gravesites. Here, the legendary Chinese American martial artist and film star Bruce Lee is interred alongside his son, Brandon Lee. Bruce Lee passed away in 1973, shortly before the release of Enter the Dragon, and his grave has since become a global attraction.
Every year, thousands of visitors follow the stone-paved path halfway up the hill to pay their respects. In 2013, his birthday was marked by flowers piled so high they nearly covered the headstones, showing that his influence still resonates worldwide.
