Kirkland Cemetery tour set for Sunday

Matt McCauley of the Kirkland Heritage Society will give a tour of the Kirkland Cemetery from 10 a.m. to noon on Sunday.

The flags and crosses that were placed by volunteers to mark the graves of veterans will still be in place from Memorial Day.

Those who would like to take the tour are asked to meet at the fountain. The cemetery entrance is on 122nd Avenue Northeast just north of Northeast 80th by Lake Washington High School.

The tour is free but donations are encouraged and will be used to purchase markers for the unmarked graves of several historic Kirklanders.

McCauley will share stories of Kirkland’s forefathers who rest on Rose Hill.
