Jimi Hendrix's Memorial Dome RoadyGoat

1970

At Greenwood Memorial Park, 350 Monroe Avenue NE in Renton, just southeast of Seattle, lies the grave of Seattle-born guitar revolutionary Jimi Hendrix, who died in London in September 1970 at age 27. For decades he rested under a modest flat marker. In 2002 his remains were moved a short distance to a far grander memorial: a roughly 30-foot granite dome resting on three pearl-gray columns, sheltering the graves of Hendrix and family members. Fans visit year-round, often leaving guitar picks, coins, and flowers, and the memorial draws thousands of pilgrims annually. Hendrix grew up in Seattle and is buried here in his home region, a short detour off Interstate 405.

Twin Peaks: Twede's & the Falls RoadyGoat

1990

Two David Lynch landmarks sit minutes apart in the Snoqualmie Valley east of Seattle. Twede's Cafe, at 137 West North Bend Way in North Bend, played the Double R Diner in 'Twin Peaks,' home of 'damn fine coffee' and cherry pie; it was the Mar-T Cafe when Lynch filmed the 1990 pilot and 'Fire Walk With Me.' A few miles north, the show's famous opening-credits waterfall is Snoqualmie Falls, a 268-foot cascade with the Salish Lodge perched at its lip, doubling as the exterior of the show's Great Northern Hotel. Lynch chose the misty valley itself to be the fictional town of Twin Peaks. Fans still pour into Twede's for pie and drive up to the falls overlook to stand where the eerie series began. The coffee really is pretty good.

History of Ravensdale

Carbonado: Sounds Like Diamond, Built on Coal RoadyGoat

1880

Carbonado, in the foothills below Mount Rainier, has a name that gem hunters know well. Carbonado is the term for a tough black diamond, so the town sounds like it sits on a fortune. It doesn't. The name traces straight back to carbon and coal. Founded in 1880 by the Carbon Hill Coal Company, on the Carbon River, the town was first called Carbondale after a Pennsylvania mining town. To avoid confusion with other Carbondales, it was reshaped into the distinctive Carbonado in the 1880s. For the next half century it was Pierce County's biggest coal producer, pulling roughly ten million tons of good-grade coal out of the ground. So the name only flirts with diamonds. Everything about this place, the river, the company, the work, points to coal.
