Viretta Park is located to the south of the former home of Kurt Cobain, where he died. Nirvana fans gather at the park on the anniversary of Cobain's death (April 5), and to a lesser extent on his birthday (Feb 20), to pay tribute to the musician.

The park's wooden benches, serving as the de facto memorial to Kurt Cobain in Seattle, are covered with graffiti messages to the rock icon. There has been much speculation over the years on whether the name of the park should be changed to "Kurt's Park", due to the late rock icons large fan base.

Hyatt Regency Seattle

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel in a convenient location to shopping and Capitol Hill. Street parking available along with plenty of lots or garages nearby. Room was very comfortable, clean with a great view. On site lounge was wonderful spot to grab a drink and snack before (and after) the game. Will stay again!"

Mayflower Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We visited Seattle for a concert and football game in November and stayed at the Mayflower for 4 nights. It was a great experience, here is my breakdown…. Check in- the gentleman that checked us in seemed to be less impressed that he was at work that day. Nothing he did was rude however, his overall demeanour was Laza fair. Our room – exactly what we expected queen size bed desk, two chairs, table, and TV. The toilet is incredibly low so if you have mobility issues that should be something to seriously think about. "
