Tips from locals
While looking for the Fremont Troll, take a look at this sculpture. Often decorated by anyone having a party.
This statue is near the north approach to the pictured Fremont Bridge. Each figure in the statue has its own strange tale to tell.
In 1979 sculptor Richard Beyer created Seattle’s most popular interactive artwork. It commemorates the light rail Interurban line that used to connect downtown Seattle with all of its neighborhoods. The piece depicts six people under a shelter and a curious dog, with a human face. It is located on the southeast corner of North 34th Street and Fremont Avenue North, just east of the northern end of the Fremont Bridge. Made from cast aluminum, the statue has attracted the imagination, mischief and creativity of hundreds of neighbors each year. The Interurban has hosted costumes, displays and “art attacks” celebrating everything from weddings, birthdays, bon voyages, congratulations, I-love-you’s, memorials, good times and friendships to popular causes, and demonstrations. This continuous stream of interactive genius has made the Interurban Fremont’s most recognizable landmark and a symbol of the fun and creative energy for which the neighborhood has become famous.
