Northern State Hospital Cemetery, Sedro Woolley

Northern State Hospital Cemetery.
It's been awhile but I am here . I seem to be stuck in the other world of this life in ruins a bit more then Cemeteries but I still do have alot of past images to plow through and more spots to visit.. suggestions?
This is the Northern State Hospital Cemetery where 1,187 patients were buried.
Every time we have been here it has been way too boggy in the cemetery to actually enter without feeling of sinking. Cemeteries do no elicit panic in me but they might do were I to begin to sink into one, I think that goes for most places though if I am sinking it's a problem.
If you like old buildings and the beauty and texture they bring please visit:
this life in ruins to behold the farm that sits next to the cemetery were the patients were buried which is always boggy.

Fantastic information about the hospital and it's cemetery can be found at the Skagit River Press which is put out by top chap Noel, who we had the pleasure of meeting last year during the N.S.H Tours.

Other Indian Burial Ground issues in state of washington

Richland Burials - we won't build on burials... 
520 bridge  on top of Burials
Mount Coffin- gone gone 
Ancient Burial Grounds Grave Injustice: Federal Laws about Burial Remains put Politics before Science 


so i am officially obsessed now. something we say we protect yet well it doesn't seem the case.
i guess with the living being disrespected why should i be surprised the dead are as well?
and it seems not to many people at least that my husband has spoken to are upset at the thought of graves being moved or left and built upon?!
really?
i am.
i am steaming .
i personally dont want to be buried - i want my ashes to be free to be as nomadic as i wish and desire to be....or to be eaten by birds and other predatory animals.
BUT if you want burial - 
if you pay and sign papers for burial....
you should have those honored at least until civilization falls and we all become a graveyard....
wtf - is this a seattle problem?
is this money?
i am ashamed .....
