The local ceremony is part of a national movement where wreaths are placed at more than 900 veterans’ cemeteries, memorials and other locations around the country.
All are welcome to attend and are invited to take part in the ceremony, during which wreaths are laid on the tombstones of the fallen.

This is a fantastic event that few in the Seattle area attend despite it being held simultaneously all over the world. It’s a well-spent hour and I encourage parents and grandparents to bring their kids too.
