Mount Pleasant Cemetery is a cemetery in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood, in the U.S. state of Washington.[1][2] It opened in 1879.[3]
The cemetery contains the remains of the unknown dead of the 1906 SS Valencia disaster, as well as many early Seattle pioneers, and Filipino-American author and activist Carlos Bulosan. A memorial to the dead of the 1916 Everett Massacre is located in the northeast section of the cemetery.[4] During World War II, the cemetery served as a site for anti-aircraft defenses.[5]
