Fremont Troll
N. 36th Street & Troll Avenue N.
Head to the Fremont neighborhood for a taste of Seattle’s fun and quirky public art. Tucked under the north end of the Aurora Bridge is the Fremont Troll, a massive mixed-media sculpture inspired by the “Three Billy Goats Gruff” fairy tale and created by local artists Steve Badanes, Will Martin, Donna Walter and Ross Whitehead. Though he looks menacing—with a Volkswagen Beetle clutched in one hand and a shiny hubcap for an eye—the troll is friendly to visitors and is a popular place to snap a quick photo. You’ll also find tons of nearby places to eat in Fremont that are off the beaten path.
