Aberdeen, Washington, is the birthplace of Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Kurt Cobain, the late and legendary founder of the highly influential music group Nirvana.

​

The City of Aberdeen is considering the demolition of the Young Street Bridge (North Aberdeen Bridge) better known as the "Kurt Cobain Bridge." Since 1991, the bridge has been a destination for fans around the world, famous for inspiring the song "Something in the Way." Additionally, this bridge greatly affects the local economy and residents in Aberdeen. 

​

Even if Kurt never slept beneath this bridge, he's synonymous with this location, and it's where countless individuals come to remember him. As such, Kurt's Bridge symbolizes the struggles and triumphs of an iconic figure who has touched millions with his music. 

​

However, this bridge's structural integrity has been questioned, and the town is faced with deciding what to do with it.
