Young Street Bridge is a bridge in North Aberdeen, Washington. It covers a brief span along the Wishkah River, carrying a north/south-bound thoroughfare which connects the City of Aberdeen with the North Aberdeen neighborhood and other outlying communities.
Most notably, the bridge has been mentioned in numerous accounts as a temporary home for Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. It is hinted at in the lyrics of the song "Something in the Way".[1] [2] The walls of the bridge are completely covered in graffiti inspired by Cobain and Nirvana.
In April 2011, the City of Aberdeen commissioned a tall electric guitar statue near the Young Street Bridge in honor of the musician's career.[3] In 2015, the Kurt Cobain Memorial Park was created nearby.
