Bronze Statue of Jimi Hendrix

A really neat tribute to a local hero. It's not uncommon to see Hendrix all dressed up around local celebrations like Pride, or with flowers and guitar picks laid out in remembrance. A definite photo op when in Seattle. Can't miss it, right across the street from Dick's (one of the best burger joints in the city).

If you want to see some even better Hendrix stuff, take a visit to the EMP Museum right next door to the Space Needle. There's a ton of his broken guitars, old letters, costumes, and more. They've got so many pieces of Hendrix history that they dedicated a whole wing to it.

When you visit be sure to bring something to leave behind. More often than not the statue is covered in guitar picks, cigarettes, strings, scarves, flowers, and bottles of booze just to give you a few suggestions. This is as much a staple as leaving your gum on the wall at the Pike Place Market.
