Our local news blog has an excellent write-up, if you want to learn how a Confederacy monument happened to be in Seattle.
I don’t know much about Daughters of the Confederacy but I would be surprised if they paid to have it repaired and put back up. I think that they have other battles ahead in Dixie that probably are higher priority.
“It just fell down”, just like the Confuddracy.
Between them and the nazis, we have a lot of work to do.

“Grand Army of the Republic” – it’s a civil war cemetery for Union Veterans. It is maintained (or not) by the VA. There are a few of them, here and there.

As I’m sure Tengrain knows, it was a Civil War precursor to the 20th Century American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars organizations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Army_of_the_Republic

That’s nothing. The statue of Columbus in Baltimore jumped into Chesapeake Bay.

Tengrain, are you waiting for the jokes about the ghosts of Jimi and Bruce?
Fun fact, one of the rumors in town used to be that you could often find a joint at Jimi’s gravesite. I never looked. Not my thing.

I didn’t think Jimi was actually here. I have seen Bruce and Brandon Lee’s graves, tho.
I’ve walked past Curt Cobain’s house, the new owners must love having to clean the shrine in the driveway every day.

Of course you are right again. I posted without checking facts. Jimi is at Greenwood in Renton. Not even the same darn town.
Damn, I’m good!

Shouldn’t Trump’s proposed statuary garden be installed at Mar-A-Lago ? That way, Trump can emulate his hero, Robert E. Lee (i.e., Arlington Cemetery) ?
