Here are a few glimpses into the past

Comet Lodge Cemetery

Comet Lodge Cemetery sits on the west side of Beacon Hill just above the Duwamish Valley and along South Graham Street. The Maple family had buried Jacob and Samuel here but later moved the remains to a site at King County International Airport. Below is a link where you can hear two of our very own experts on Comet Lodge, Allan and La Dele, in an interview with King 5 news.
