Center of the Universe Fremont is synonymous with fun; a

neighborhood of unexpected and unconven-tional entertainment. Stand at the center of the

Center of the Universe, visit a Troll who turned to concrete while munching on a Fahrvergnügen,

gaze upon our Soviet-era Rocket, and shake a finger with Lenin (Vladimir, that is.) Throughout the year this unique commu-nity of locally-based shops and distinctive eateries welcomes outlandish events, including: The Solstice Parade led by the painted cyclists, art cars inside the Fremont Fair, chainsaw pumpkin carving at Oktoberfest and Outdoor Movies with a twist. With something for everyone and just a short bus ride or nice stroll along Lake Union from downtown Seattle, Fremont is truly the Center of the Known Universe!!

Come let your inner sprite

play.

Fremont Chamber, PO Box 31139, Seattle, WA 98103

Fremont Bridge & Neon Art - Rapunzel & How The Elephant Got His Trunk. This bascule drawbridge connects our community with the world beyond and is graced by neon representations of two favorite children’s stories

The George Washington Memorial (Aurora) Bridge - Towering over us all stands the artistic “Aurora” Bridge with its architecturally interesting details – especially the view downhill from the Troll – often

referred to as “The Hall of Giants.” Slated to be painted in 2016 & 17, you might find crews dangling from the bridge with brushes!

Late For The Interurban - This statue of J.P. Patches and Gertrude commemorates two of

Seattle’s greatest citizens – a couple of clowns – installed in 2008 with their ICU2TV and a dona-

tion tin for Seattle Children’s Hospital The Troll - Hulking beneath the Aurora Bridge squats the Fremont Troll and the small snack he snagged before being turned to stone The Bridge Way Mural - Beloved by the community, this mural was painted in 1997 and greets drivers as they enter Fremont from the Aurora Bridge B.F. Day School Tile Project - With the help of the Fremont Arts Council, each child who attends B.F. Day School makes a tile to represent themselves Brooks Sports Runner - The global headquarters of Brooks Sports, actual runners’ medals were used to make an “in-motion” runner statue
