Denny|Arthur Denny]] set up the monument over his grave, with the inscription ''"SEATTLE Chief of the Suqampsh and Allied Tribes, Died June 7, 1866. The Firm Friend of the Whites, and for Him the City of Seattle was Named by Its Founders."'' On the reverse is the inscription "''Baptismal name, Noah Sealth, Age probably 80 years."''<ref name="Denny1899" /> The site was restored, and a native sculpture was added in 1976 and again in 2011.{{Citation needed|date=March 2024}}

Several of Seattle's descendants also gained fame in their own right. Kikisoblu, also known as Angeline, was his most famous child and well-known to the residents of early Seattle, where she lived until her death in 1896. His son Jim became the leader of the Suquamish for a time, but was unpopular and was replaced in favor of a prominent leader of the Catholic Suquamish community, Jacob Wahalchu.<ref name="HistoryLink" /> A Duwamish grandniece of his, [[Rebecca Lena Graham]], is also notable for her successful inheritance claim following the Graham v. Matthias, 63 F. 523 (1894) case.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Jagodinsky |first=Katrina |title=Legal Codes and Talking Trees: Indigenous Women's Sovereignty in the Sonoran and Puget Sound Borderlands, 1854-1946 |date=2016 |publisher=Yale University Press |isbn=978-0-300-22081-0 |series=The Lamar Series in Western History |location=New Haven, CT |pages=134}}</ref>
