The Rucker Tomb is a historical landmark in Everett, Washington. The tomb was built beginning in 1907 by the Rucker Brothers to honor their mother, Jane, who had moved from Ohio by 1889. The granite pyramid is 50 feet tall and houses the remains of many Rucker family members. The Rucker family is one of the prominent pioneer families of Everett WA. Jane, wife of Wyatt, and two of their sons, Wyatt and Bethel, were large landowners by 1891 and owned 50 acres located in which would eventually become the Everett City limits. They were land dealers and mother Jane was their partner and principle advisor. By 1905, they moved to their mansion built on Rucker Hill, and along with many other large estate owners, created the Rucker neighborhood.
