Seattle’s Grunge Landmarks – a photo list by Six Bones

As we approach the 20th anniversary of the tragic death of Kurt Cobain, the legacy of Seattle’s grunge movement is once again in the spotlight. The grunge era helped define the culture of Generation X, and propelled popular music into the alternative rock movement of the late 80’s and early 90’s. Grunge’s popularity also drew the eyes of the world to our rainy little corner of the world, helping to make Seattle the major hub of independent music it is today.

The nice folks at location-based photo sharing app Trover (read about it here) asked me to create a list detailing of some of Seattle’s grunge landmarks, and share it using their new widgets. The list highlights some of the spaces and places critical to this slice of rock history, including the original location of Sub Pop Records, important music venues, and Kurt Cobain’s unofficial memorial. You can read about them by clicking “See More on Trover” on the list above.
