Seattle’s oldest park was originally designated a cemetery – but that status ended up being rather temporary, and the land was rededicated as parkland. Formerly part of Denny Hill, the park was later flattened in the Denny Regrade of 1910, over protests by preservationists. Today it's mostly used by nine-to-fivers as a spot for a quick coffee break.
