Burke Avenue, The Burke-Gilman Trail and the Burke Museum are named in his honor. Burke frequently organized subscription drives to raise money for Seattle projects, to the point that he often described himself as a "professional beggar." His would often be the first name on the petition, pledging the first dollar—or, later, the first thousand dollars. (en)
