The cemetery is lovely, in the middle of a very nice neighborhood with pretty houses. However, finding the actual grave is tricky. It's at the top, then slightly down towards the front, sort of behind some bushes. Best bet is to look for other tourists taking photos.

This is a nice place to go check out. It is a good and quick side trip when you are driving around and checking out the other attractions in Seattle. The graves are nicely maintained and the headstones have a nice overall look.

Nicely-kept gravesite (and nicely kept cemetery, too) not far from downtown Seattle. Lee's grave is near the top of the hill, just start driving towards the hill and look for the bright, white heart shaped headstone and his is just behind that. Also near the main flagpole. HIYA!!

It's on the top side of the grave yard, great place for tribute to legend Bruce Lee. Fans, must go. Watch life story of Bruce Lee.

Since my 11 year old and 8 year old kids started doing karate, I wanted to take both of them here so they know of an influential person. Bruce and Brandon are both buried next to each other. You might want to ask an employee at the cementary where the grave site is once you arrive on grounds.

I visited this for my brother, who loved Bruce Lee movies as we were growing up. I've visited a lot of famous graves while traveling, and I like to see what others have left, and wonder why they left what they did. I left a nickel for the five members of my brother's family, and pennies for me, my mom... More

While in Seattle on business, my partner & I decided to visit the site. We arrived at around 7pm the first day and the gate to cemetery was locked. Hours are 9am-6pm. After returning the next morning, the gravestone was easy to find. Just look for the heart shaped stone. Wow! This was a somewhat spiritual moment for me personally.... More

I went to the gravesite midweek and had a rough time finding the spot with no huge crowd to follow. Look for Bruce's grave on the more elevated portion of the cemetery, easily accessible via roadway. It's not facing the road, you might miss it so keep an eye out for a heart-shaped tomb and Lee's should be very closeby.... More

This was hard to find. Walk up the main path. Go left. It's off the road behind the flag pole in front of a row of bushes.

Wasn't expecting to be on such aww when we finally found the grave site. It was Brandon Lee's bday, some people decided to celebrate. Brought baloons, cupcakes, cards, flowers (for both). Made the experiance more moving.
