Established in 1895, this cemetery is dedicated to veterans of the Union Army who served in the American Civil War.
The cemetery is owned by the City of Seattle but is maintained by the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, a group dedicated to preserving the history of Union veterans.
Every Memorial Day, a ceremony is held to honor the veterans interred there, featuring speeches, music, and the laying of wreaths.
Among the interred is Thomas Prosch, a prominent Seattle publisher and historian who played a significant role in documenting the city's early history.
It is one of many such cemeteries across the United States, each serving as a testament to the sacrifices of Union soldiers during the Civil War.
