[diggdugg4]

I lived across the street from the small cul de sac in Lynnwood, WA. that Layne lived in while in high school. He attended Meadowdale High and the cul de sac is located at 62nd and 188th st sw.

[sylicone221]

[laaayneful]

[AicGrungeFan]

please advise what ISIS song is this playing thank you

[LuxeXx]

Why don't you just park, then figure it out?

[beAloneonTheStreet]

beautiful blue sky.

[MrMusikman24]

You can kind of see his building its the apartment behind the Fedex and its got a green roof and he was on the 5th floor

[edhatesit]

Why did you post a bunch of shit you are not sure of. i dont care if you are stuck in traffic

[IrishUser01]

I dont know too much about it..but..i think he went to the bar to get away from the people who camped outside his house and he just sat by himself and nodded off from heroin but i could be wrong.

[firemedic277]

@IrishUser01 thats exaclty what he did, he wouldnt even order a drink, he would sit in the corner, light up a cigarette and doze off from the H

[DancingMedicineMan]

@IrishUser01 irish dick twat

[rob92376]

This looks like ps4 grand theft auto.

[darknes7800]

MrJaman.....King county records differ from your story...they say 5th floor / top floor. There were likely 2 condos on the top floor. How is it you were at Layne's condo?

[MrJaman22]

Layne didnt live on the top floor. He was 2nd from the top. His veranda faced west. I know cause i was there several times.

[madddrummer22]

you knew Layne?

[PezoCon]

Grandview Plaza Building unit 5C, 4528 8th Ave NE Seattle, Washington 98105

[XxGlamisDunerxX]

what isis song is this

[tonymoser]

You were close. You take a right on 8th by the rainbow or used to be called the blue moon, and it is the tan and green (or at least they used to be that color) condos on your right. Layne lived on the top floor. Its a smaller complex. Its only about 5 or 6 stories.

[joeskelly123]

awesome video

[qrsu]

The music is by ISIS

[chakadoodledoo]

quit listnein to the elevator music and play sum friggin facelift

[Hellagoodedie]

what is the music being played

[Aicgoddess]

Interesting video. Good to know I'm not the only one that went looking for Layne's condo, but i did take a 12 hr flight from NC to do so, lol.

[RadioguyJ]

By the way the Rainbow bar is no longer....they sold it and changed the name to "Fusion." They also painted the building black. Sucks!

[RadioguyJ]

Guys I just posted a link with pics inside Layne's condo, but it is not showing up!

[JonSpam07]

no you didnt you fucking fag

[Rifugium]

Just addressing a few of the comments. (Damn, it's been three years since I took this clip already?)

I DID in fact park and walk around the area, but at the time I had no idea what building I was looking for. I would have stayed and pried into the search more, but I was actually on a tight schedule that day, and most of my time out there. As some people have pointed out, you can see Layne's building near the end of the video.

[Rifugium]

Also, it wasn't until I was in the line of traffic to get back "home" that I thought to take a video clip.

And in response to crazy comments about my driving, I was obviously not LOOKING INTO THE CAMERA WHILE DRIVING. I was watching the road the whole time, and holding the camera with my other hand, hoping to capture a semi-decent shot of the area.

This tiny clip wasn't intended to be a brilliant documentary. But rest assured if I ever do return to Seattle, you'll see a better video.

[blondexo89]

yeah it would be so awesome if you could take another video!! :] so is that red brick building the rainbow bar that he went to often?

[AicGrungeFan]

@Rifugium please advise what ISIS song is this at the start thank you.

[Tazmania115110]

@AicGrungeFan "Maritime". It said in the description

[jebman18]

@Rifugium I live in seattle in the U district and all you say is 8th avenue. 8th avenue what?? northeast is next to the UW, north is in wallingford and nw is in the ballard area. Whats the direction bro?

[ggirl4evr]

@Rifugium -it was those white condos in the back- at 1:20 in the video u can see them-im almost posotive it was in there/

[JelloFarming]

Never become a taxi driver or deliver for FedEx.

[kelammo]

I am trying to figure out the purpose of this.. You don't know where the street is, the apartment/condos, or even which direction to look. Thanks for taking a couple of minutes of my life that I will never get back. I could have smoked a J and watched something somewhat meaningful

[amentveddergossard]

At 1.59 he gets Staleys address, the smaller building with green colour. Layne lived on the top floor. See what you mean though he should have parked the car and walked to the place.

[nickthecomedian]

layne is a fuckin rock god.

[inBLOOMman]

kiaaaa

[amentveddergossard]

The Rainbow bar on the corner is where Layne would go most days. The owner of the bar would let him in just so Layne could 'people watch' and get out the house.

[IRISHPUNK676]

yeah there was also a food store in the area he used to go too and he would walk out with a shit load of sugery treats its a shame i wish some one would have went and kicked the door in to save his ass RIP

[jschiefer]

45th and 8th avenue NE

[Abasuto]

My friend's older sister swears that Sean Kinney ( AIC's drummer) ripped her and her b/f off for $600 worth of weed in high school...lol.

No idea if she's telling the truth, but they did go to high school together, seen her yearbook and they were both in it.

[girlstaley]

does it matter where my brother lived?

[8pablos8]

yes, and show us last photo of him about 3 months before he died, if you're not a fake of course ;]

[girlstaley]

that's rude.. i mean, layne is gone but regardless u people really don't understand or know how to respect that "celebs" are people too. if you died, would u want people posting things about where YOU might have lived and how YOU might have lived your life? think about it for a minute and stop being so self-absorbed.

and also, i don't have to prove anything to you or anybody. nobody knows every single detail about his life or MINE and i don't care to share those details.

thanks.

[8pablos8]

If so why are you "showing of" that you're related to Layne? You're asking yourself for other's attention don't you think? Layne Staley was not another celeb for me. He was a true artist who's music was straight from fuckin heart. And now You appear calling yourself his sister/cousin whatever.

I think that You're boasting about your well known relative or it's just another week provocation.

[girlstaley]

i really didnt think i was showing off anything. there are things in my life i am proud of and things in my life that i'm not very proud of.. i am who i am. i don't understand what the big issue is?? i merely asked "does it matter..?" i was confused-- can't you understand that?

i honestly don't believe i'm asking for any kind of attention. i made a small comment and you've blown it way out of proportion.

would you rather i just disappear again?

[8pablos8]

I just think that you knew, if you start posting as relative to a great vocalist, you will be receiving some questions about him and now you're acting like a big star saying that "not every detail should be know" or something. So why did you post as her sister/cousin in the first place.

It's not some kind of attack on your person but i'm just little confused about this sittuation

[weilandscott]

pixi isn't a boaster. she kept herself hidden for years for many reasons, one being obviously what happened to layne, and another being that she knew everyone would question what she had a very difficult time taking in at one point. she didn't always know that layne was her brother. she actually met him before he broke the news to her. there weren't many people at all that knew about it, and layne did that for a reason. more than likely a reason only he could answer.

(more to come)

[weilandscott]

...pix is a good girl. i KNOW her. and i knew layne very very well. layne was a private person. he didn't tell EVERYONE everyTHING. and pixi is also a very private person. if you think she was trying to get attention, you're wrong. she is definitely not an attention whore. she was probably just having one of those days. i know i have alot of those kinds of days. try to think before you speak next time, and try to have compassion for people when you don't know the whole/true story.

[freedomjames]

I was also a good friend of Laynes, I know alot of the whole true story, atleast the years he called me friend. The true story is he was just a guy, a regular person. I never saw him as a celeb myself. Just a friend.

[weilandscott]

exactly how all of us want to be seen.

[8pablos8]

And now Weiland is in the house hahaha XD

[weilandscott]

problem?

[8pablos8]

yes

[weilandscott]

go eat out a sperm dumpster.

[8pablos8]

go shot some heroin you meaningless cunt

[kosmicvodku]

you can also google map it, and check it out

[wwemattlord1]

I went there today, i know where he lived, i just want to know what condo he lived in. R.I.P Layne

[Gamagachee]

I'm sooooooo glad I live in Seattle. Seattle forever man...

[riqutronic]

I live across the street. Layne's building is the one you can see at 1:56. It is not the high rise. It is the one just in the foreground with the green accents on the right hand side of the street. He did not live on the top floor of that high rise as EvelJustin24 said, it was the 3rd floor of the 4 story building with the green.

[alcoholigy]

awesome that was pretty cool to see wherre a lead singer's neiborhood was :P!!!!

[ReverendVegas]

You're listening to ISIS! Great band and they're killer live.

[67675656565655656565]

i wonder if anyone lives in his apartment now.I myself wouldnt like to live there as layne died a horrible death there.

[herrottenheart]

it would had been a lot better if you could get inside the apartment

[FeanorLives]

They say he lived at the corner of 8th ave. and 45th street in the university district of downtown Seattle,Washington on the third floor of a condo.

[hurtreliefhurt]

that's right, I've just seen it on a google map. that's so strange.

[kosmicvodku]

point of this video is, i for one am interested in were layne staley spent his last moments.

i myself am fighting an addiction(will not name it),but find it helpful to read about this amazing man whom brought us this great music at a great cost to himself.

[dirge777]

i recommend pluggin into aa or na asap

[killaxxx247]

um whats the point of this video?

[rviradia]

it's nice to see where the singer lived that influenced your life in a big way and whose songs you listen to almost everyday. Just like going to graceland, kind of, but graceland's in the ghetto, so be careful :-)

[67675656565655656565]

wonder if his condo is haunted now and i would have thought he would have lived in a big mansion

[EvelJustin24]

Well he did have a house to start with, but he decided to move in an apartment later on.

[67675656565655656565]

do u no were his house is

[EvelJustin24]

At 1:54 the big high rise apartment straight ahead. Layne lived on the top floor.

[NegativeCreep101]

the man seen crossing the street at 1:25 is Layne Staley.

[trietotatrieto]

jajaja it seems

[420grungekid]

lmao ok! , nice name though man, nirvana is awsome!

[124kwp]

i dnt believe you,what year is this from?? if its from before 2002 then i will

[hottieana]

lol!! 4real i thought that was kurt cobain

[bigboss25262]

I wanna stay in the apartment where he died. I wish i could talk to his spirit or something. Layne was my idol. What a voice, what am artist.

[coldfire2227]

yeah i kinda want to do evp at his place. it does sound kinda weird but i still wanna do it.

[lbull341]

@bigboss25262 Layne still is my idol!

[DancingMedicineMan]

@bigboss25262 just call him up in a seance its what i do...he says hes sweet as burning in 1000 degrees

[bigboss25262]

@DancingMedicineMan You're an asshole.

[DancingMedicineMan]

@bigboss25262 make me.

[bigboss25262]

@DancingMedicineMan i know u r but wat am i

[DancingMedicineMan]

@bigboss25262 wat you are is a cocksucking little man

[bigboss25262]

@DancingMedicineMan i know u r but what am i

[slcpunk33606]

Uh..you need to get a girlfriend or a hobby.

[Monchi2006]

theres a website that shows you the place,in google earth and all i saw it once all you have to do is write *layne staleys house* on google

[jtdiver]

Yeah I lived in Wallingford (43rd and Sunnyside) that day they found him... as I recall he was found right around where you were looking in this vid (47TH and 8TH), NOT in Bellevue.

[Iluska81]

Not dressed in drag? haha That would be fun to watch, Rifugium. lol Sludgefactorygirl

[halah89]

baha awesome, ISIS in the background

[chakadoodledoo]

dude go to 171 east lake washington blvd!

[taylorandwade]

Layne lived in 5C in a condo on 8th Avenue, I believe that it is the complex behind the tree in your shot. His address was Seattle not Bellevue

[Kermsit]

STALKER!!!! JAKAY

[Tomek1985]

I found that He lived in appartment at 13343 Bel Red Rd. Bellevue

[gothlizard]

i just went to 13343 bel red rd cuz i also heard that was his place. it really fit the description. im gonna put the pics up soon so you guys can decide for yourselves

[PearlJammer07]

Make an update video. Get closer to the condo place.

[yanidy]

Why won't this dumb video play??

[Facelift1305]

I can't find anything linking these addresses to that place.

[dimebagdesean]

dude you were right there take a right on 8th they were remoldeling it all last summer so it had the tevak wrapped around it anyway go to the blue moon tavern that was his hangout thell tell ya cause its right there but ill tell ya not much there for ya see so you might ass well go to the blue moon get anyone there a beer and watch the stories aflow but that era was a sad time for him so bewarned,youde probably cry like one of them drunk fools cause this video sucked

[hottieana]

so what are the stories about him when he would go 2 the bar?? do share bro

[reymysteriofan25]

All i know is towards the last year or so of his life he would go to this local bar and just sit by himself and not order anything regularly..

[hottieana]

ThAnX dUdE 4 ShArInG That InFo wIt Me. PeAcE oUt!!

[SairaBaniMarieWalia]

I think it would be a great idea if you make another update video,like go towards/near the building to get a close up or something. Alot of questions would be answered in a way that we all have still.

[bday55]

Hey the sun is out, are you sure you're in Seattle?

[Dlucas1357]

dude he lived in the grandview plaza i drank a few beers with the man.

[tehGmoney]

seriously??

[musicismycandy]

you better not be joking! you're lucky, man!

[Tomek1985]

I think he lives on last floor

[staleycornellbuckley]

all alone

[mattsea]

I was just there today got inside the building and got tons of good pictures......does anyone know if it was penthouse A,B,C, or D?

[aicdan1]

it was C

[lasnot]

i just got back from seattle, i wanted to check out some cool sites like this, but i had no cash and no car. layne staley tribute this year was amazing though!

[QuillDrill]

My bro's Name is Layne!!

[voltageofillusion]

yes it was '02 sorry!

[voltageofillusion]

Yes, the greenish high rise behind Kinkos is where Layne lived. It is well known in the immediate area, especially after his untimely death in '03

[ClockworkOrange]

'02*

[Teeb2]

Yep, im just from Alabama ( shit-hole ) but the high-rise next to the green roofed building was where Layne lived i'm pretty sure

[Tomek1985]

Just click memorials on laynethelegend. com to see a Condominium

[Tomek1985]

Here you are laynethelegend. com

[Tomek1985]

I have 2 photos I think

[TheFragile89]

Does anyone photos of the aprtment itself?? If you know where to find them please let me know.

[pissing4relief]

Hey that's me in the white car ahead of you. Get off my ass! Go inside the Kinkos and ask Mike to tell you where he lives

[Guyandotte]

Very interesting idea for a video.

[BrightEyed]

do other people live up there in his condo now? or does it belong to his family and they just let it like that?

RIP Layne, you are wonderful

[Doodboy253]

Dude, I live like 30 minutes from Seattle, I need to go there!

[Ptichka24]

Who wants to go and lay flowers there on april 5th, seriuosly? let me know. I live in vancouver. I am planning to come down.

[MathiasP16]

how'd that go?

[Ptichka24]

why do you need that? tourism?

[Stanleylardbutt]

Yeah, I lived a few blocks up from there and saw all the abulances and shit when they found Layne. God, that broke my heart

[Ptichka24]

I was there, that green building looks so small

[Master0fBass]

Wow. It's kind of sad to think he died up there alone.

[ladyinchains]

thanks for that its really cool!

[lovableleo79]

yeah, you are correct. if you took a right on 8th, he lived on the top floor of those condos with the green roof. his condo faced 8th street.

[girlstaley]

indeed he did.

[LufflyxLisaxJane]

tahts amazing !!! to be so close buut so far to where he spent his last moments xxx

[revmaynard246]

thats all I know but ur probably in that area I dunno...nice vid

[revmaynard246]

Kirkland,Washington

[mac2602]

thanks , gracias,

la gente que vive lejos,nunca llegaria a ver esto, aunque parezca una boludes,para los fanaticos es importante,gracias again.

[Tessel]

Hi thanks for posting it (Ha I already know you from the AiC forum :D)

[sweetpeajulia]

cool!

[hobbsbd822]

isis is mega cool

[Rifugium]

Just to follow up, several people have told me that I was in fact in the correct area, and now having seen an actual picture of the residence, it looks like it could be the building with the green roof visible on the right side of the street near the end of the video.

And to answer the above question: the song playing is "Maritime" by Isis.

[chabrey]

his complex was the one above the green roof, the really tall one. i live in seattle and have been by several times. plus my brother's friend once delivered a mattress to layne staley at that complex

[pookakid]

Hey does anyone have the name of the building or the address? thanks rip layne baby

[muzzman89]

interesting video, just wondering what song is being played in the background?
