Graffiti under the bridge

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][3] The walls of the bridge are completely covered in graffiti inspired by Cobain and Nirvana.

In April 2011, the City of Aberdeen commissioned a 13 feet (4.0 m) tall electric guitar statue near the Young Street Bridge in honor of the musician's career.[4] In 2015, the Kurt Cobain Memorial Park was created nearby.
