RENTON — The names of 180 people who died in King County but whose families either could not be found or could not afford a burial were read aloud at a ceremony at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Renton. The individual cremated remains were catalogued and buried Wednesday under a flat headstone that read “October 2017” and the phrase “Gone but not forgotten, these people of King County.” A bagpiper played to open the service and law enforcement and fire department representatives stood sentry next to a memorial wreath.
