Lake View Cemetery is a cemetery located on Seattle, Washington, USA's Capitol Hill just north of Volunteer Park, so named because of its view of Lake Washington to the east. It was founded in 1873 as the Seattle Masonic Cemetery. Among those buried there are Princess Angeline, daughter of Chief Seattle; Bruce and Brandon Lee; and Seattle pioneers David Swinson "Doc" Maynard, Asa Mercer, Henry Yesler, David Denny, and other members of the Denny Party. In the northeast corner of the cemetery is located the Nisei War Memorial Monument, dedicated in 1949 to Japanese American veterans, and some of these veterans' graves.
Just north of the cemetery is the 1895 Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery.
