This address was the former location of the high school, also known as Aberdeen High School, that Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic of Nirvana attended. After Cobain dropped out, he worked briefly as a janitor at the high school.
On January 5, 2002, the Weatherwax wing of the high school burnt down. After investigation, it was revealed that a friend of Cobain's started the fire while trying to destroy school records.
