Washington state's top celebrity pilgrimage site might surprise you

Have you ever been to Graceland, the hometown of Elvis Presley? Avid fans make the journey to see the final resting place of their favorite celebrity.

What are the most visited cemeteries in Washington State?

I've been to Graceland and it was a cool experience – it's great to see how your favorite celebrities live and Washington State is home to some of the biggest names in the country whose fans are crazy about.

Jimi Hendrix was the first to come to mind as the most visited cemetery in Washington State, but I soon discovered that there are two other famous people who rank even higher as the most visited celebrity cemeteries in the Evergreen State.

Tarotoo surveyed 3,000 Americans to determine the ultimate destination for (late) celebrities, and three famous people from Western Australia made the list.

Jimi Hendrix was ranked #55, The graveside cemetery at Greenwood Memorial Park Memorial in Renton Washington features a large granite dome containing a statue of Hendrix's guitar, with some of his lyrics inscribed around it.

Ranking #17, The graves of Bruce Lee and his son Brandon Lee at Seattle's Lake View Cemetery. While Bruce Lee revolutionized martial arts and film, leaving an indelible mark on both fields, Brandon Lee was a legendary actor whose talent was notoriously short-lived.

lastly, #1 Washington's most visited places, ranked #3 On Talatu's list:
The Kurt Cobain memorial in Aberdeen, Washington, was built to honour the influential Nirvana frontman who helped shape the grunge music scene.

Graceland is the most visited celebrity site in the U.S., but surprisingly, Kurt Cobain's grave comes in at third place.
