A very peaceful place. The neighbors don't like the traffic, so we only go when no one else is there. And keep it respectful. The inspiration he got from and for From The Banks Of The Muddy Wishkah, is still powerful

Very depressing aura. Wish it was taken care of better (very dirty be careful of where you step and wear old shoes), plus that it wasn't so invasive of those who live around it. He definitely deserves a better memory, but I guess this town never cared for him, or vice versa. It was still worth it, very cool to see the fans graffiti and to see where he spent a good portion of his youth.

Aberdeen is a small town but still retains that Grunge air of the 90s. The site has memorsbimia from Kurt's teenage years but there are also vagabonds and junkies in the area which makes the atmosphere even more real to what it will have been in the time that Kurt lived under the bridge. I loved knowing that in the river they threw a third of the ashes of Kurt

I bought a shotgun and almost killed myself at that same time that Kurt successfully killed himself using that very same method. I was going to write "So Jealous!!" on the graffiti under the bridge but that would be illegal. It was a beautiful day that I visited here during the summer, one that the sun actually shone and the weather was nice and warm for once instead of rain and grey doom- and I'm still not a junkie who needs their fix just to get through the day- so I really can't complain and be too jealous right?

"Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass"

I was really glad to find a nice spot to contemplate Kurt Cobain's life. My family took a small road trip to Aberdeen for the Star Wars store but also spent some time on the Kurt Trail. The neighborhood was nice. The park was simple and creative. His childhood home and first rental is within a few blocks. Novoselic's parents' home is across the bridge. There were needles under the bridge, but what else would we expect? An otter swam by as we stood on the muddy bank of the Wishkah.

Small memorial, not super well kept. The town itself is very small so we weren t expecting anything grand. It was nice to go to a place in memory of him and we saw otters in the water across the river! The small park area is kept fairly clean but there are some remnants of needle usage under the bridge and it s mud/clay so just be aware of that. His home is nearby, it s not memorialized but still somewhere to stop while you re in the area.

RIP KC

Drove ninety minutes and *almost* turned around when I saw that the only person at the park was tying a hockey stick to his bike. Still, I'd driven all that way so I figured maybe it wouldn't be that bad...but it was. It was that bad. So, I'd give the park six stars if I could (extra star for my new friend Craig!) but I'm limited to just five.

Go for the graffiti. I couldn't name more than a few Nirvana songs, but I appreciate the Grunge subgenre for its cultural influence, and the band for the effect they obviously had on people. Just look at what they have to write about their music.

Man....Being A Huge Die Hard Nirvana Fan And A Huge Fan Of Kurt Cobain And His Amazing Art And Outlook On Things Musically And On Social Politics As Well As Doing Benefit Concert Performances And Hats Off To The People Who Got To See Them Live Including My Older Brother Rob Seeing Nirvana Had To Been A Blast Nirvana Still Rules But Being Underneath The Very Bridge Kurt Would Hang Out After An Argument He Had With His Mother Was Pretty Wild To See Where He Was Comin From And How He Grew Up Pretty Eerie Seeing A Piece Of Cardboard Underneath The Bridge And A Fresh Syringe Right Next To The Cardboard With An Orange Cap On It But Anyway R.I.P Kurt Cobain

It's a statue of a guitar, under a bridge. Go to the end of 2nd St, as Google maps instructions are incorrect and will take you to the top of the bridge. The house next to it has a sign to warn you about the needles on the ground, which I saw several of. Be very careful and don't stab yourself! Honestly, the experience was pretty underwhelming and unless you're a big fan you're probably better off skipping it. The closest thing to a "gift shop" is the Star Wars shop located down the street, which is very crowded and cramped but worth a visit.

This is not a house of Kurt Cobain.

Don t even try to knock them...

Kurt Cobain house is so close to this.
But you can find the bridge, where celebrity began his story...

Small and depressing. I'm glad Aberdeen did something to recognize one of the greatest musicians America's ever produced, but it seems like a small, grudging effort. The whole town is incredibly depressing and barely hanging on, why not create a memorial that might attract positive tourism to boost the place culturally if not economically? Sad.

I felt a somber presence there, yes. But there was something of beauty in that somberness. The neighbors sign had me laughing, but they should be respected and left alone. Wish I could have met Phil.

We passed through on our way back to Seattle from the Quinault rain forest, it was a cool detour but I'd suggest not going alone or wearing open toed shoes since there were needles and broken beer bottles on the ground....

It was a place near his childhood home. Although, it speaks to his lowkey loving nature, it hardly seems worthy of a man who changed the face of music. Please be courteous of the people who live nearby!
