RENTON, Wash. (AP) – Music icon Jimi Hendrix will now have a post office near his Washington state hometown named after him. The Seattle Times reports a bill was signed into law re-christening the Renton Highlands Post Office the James Marshall “Jimi” Hendrix Post Office in the legendary guitarist’s honor. Before rising to international fame in the late 1960s, Hendrix grew up in Seattle. There’s no shortage of Hendrix tributes scattered around his hometown – from a statue to his namesake park. The Renton post office is less than a mile from the Jimi Hendrix Memorial in the Greenwood Memorial Park cemetery, where he is buried.
