InterCultural Animal Anecdotes and Art

The historic Seattle-Tacoma Pet Cemetery & community of color on Kent's W. Hill are rich in culture. We tell stories of humans & animals and their close bonds.

April 17, 2025. Our new King County Councilmember De'Sean Quinn D-5 and his entire stellar team visited the 2-acre historic Seattle-Tacoma Pet Cemetery est. 1950 on Kent's West Hill. A King County Landmark in unincorp. SKC and officially eligible for the NRHP. What a great day!🤗

Showdown at historic Seattle-Tacoma Pet Cemetery this week. @att @CrownCastle desecrated sacred grounds. Community out to protect the deceased as cemetery owner allegedly called the marginalized community, "broke bastards". Multiple sheriff calls. @SteveMo00935619 #brokebastards

This is our unincorp SKC's community's ONLY urban green space, a memorial park. Not an industrial park. AT&T desecrated this sacred space with a 100' industrial cell tower inside Burial Block 13 with graves and mourners. @attimpact @carlgipson @PuttKathy
