Meet at the south entrance to the cemetery (700 W. Raye St.) for the Queen Anne Historical Society's annual tour of the cemetery. Kim Turner leads again this year where he'll combine the highlights of the last several years into one exciting visit that will galvanize your interest in local history. The Clise Family tomb sites will surely draw everyone's attention this year not only because they once owned the cemetery, but also because the family is now the proprietor of the last major portion of the Denny Regrade to go undeveloped. A big part of that land has just been sold for Amazon's two big towers between 6th and 7th Avenues. People attending Dan Kerlee's talk at the Society's Annual Meeting (May 22) on the Golden Potlatch will wonder if there is a connection between the 1913 riots at IWW headquarters and the 1916 Everett Massacre whose victims are buried at Mount Pleasant. Wear good shoes and be prepared for uneven ground and a grand time.
Free of Charge; Membership appreciated
