The word "quirky" as been used in a few reviews, and it sums Fremont up. I really enjoyed mooching around the area. A short bus ride from Seattle (no.26 & 28), and just spend half an hour walking round the sights.... the rocket, Lenin statue and troll under the bridge. From here, you can then take a walk around Lake... More

This is something you just have to see if you're in the area. Its free!!! Very cool sculpture and I love the actual beatle car in the troll's hand - very nice touch. You only have to spend 15minutes. Does not take up much of your time and did I say free!!! More

They jokingly call it the center of the universe but it's a hell of a lot of fun. Great food, bars, and bike shops. There's also the troll & waiting for the interurban sculptures as well a great Sunday market. Plus the Burke Gilman riding/walking trail goes right by it. Oh and the bridge! I could go on... More

Fremont has a variety of interesting shops, stores and restaurants, all very quirky, interesting and unique. It's not really a tourist destination in and of itself, but if you find yourself there, take an hour or so to walk around and take in the area. Or just grab a coffee at one of the many coffee shops and just watch... More

Always bring out of towners here when they visit. So fun and the whole area is worth a walk through, so why not see the troll too!? More

Fremont offers some fine sightseeing. We take our guests, young and old, to see The Troll, but always visit via the street that runs north right strait uphill to this interesting statue. We like walking along the canal, usually on the south side. And Ponti's is a very fine dining experience. The Fred Meyer (half way between Ballard & Fremont)... More

Seattle is an amazingly creative place and it seems to come whole circle in Fremont. Visit the Troll, Gasworks Park and go for a coffee and look at the zany characters Seattle is rich. More

I've lived in WA my whole life and I had seen pictures of the troll and heard about him but never had I seen him. So I went and explored Fremont with my boyfriend and we found the troll. It was very cool and we got good pictures, but the nearby construction was disappointing and distracting. More
