Visit to Jimi Hendrix Memorial

Silvie and I finally made the short trip to the Jimi Hendrix gravesite and memorial in Renton highlands. We've been a few blocks away from Greenwood Memorial Park many times, but never visited before today. We were lucky that on a Saturday with better-than-awful weather we had the memorial all to ourselves for as long as we were there. The memorial is quite nice: a granite dome supported by three pilars with 60's-rock poster-like etchings on each pillar with images of Jimi as well as panels with lyrics from a few of his songs. Jimi's original headstone is at the center of the accessible monument, and small headstones for the Hendrix family ring the monument in a grass circle which includes flowers and a sundial.
