It's quintessentially Fremont, the troll under the bridge. A BIG troll under the bridge. With a real VW bug in it's hand. It's fun to imagine creating it.

This beautifully landscaped little park with its sweeping view of Ballard and the Olympic Mts. is a lovely .6 mile stroll from the apartment. Off the beaten path, it's one of Seattle's secret gems.

Essentials
A great local natural food chain with a good hot bar. Similar to Whole Foods, but sometimes cheaper, especially their deli. TERRIFIC attention to special diets, such as gluten free, vegan, etc.

Walk in. Sit down. Eat decent sushi. When you're hungry, or when someone near & dear is crabby & hungry, it's a quick fix. I feel better already!

Drinks & Nightlife
We don't get to go often because the family section is tiny, but I definitely remember a divine dessert and cool custom lighting. Of course, the drinks are great too!
