Evergreen-Washelli held its annual Memorial Day ceremony on Monday, May 25, 2026 at 11111 Aurora Ave N in north Seattle.
An honor guard composed of members of different branches of service walked to the podium where a hundred people waited to hear the speakers.
The Northwest Junior Pipe band played bagpipes.
Before the ceremony, dozens of volunteers, including several scout troops, veterans, and relatives placed a small flag on every veteran's grave - hundreds of them.
Boy, girl, and cub scouts help with the flag placement every year.

It's an amazing sight to see the neat rows of headstones with a flag on each one.
