The Fremont Troll is public art built under the bridge in the Fremont neighborhood.
I had been told a couple times about "the troll" and to go see it when I get a chance, but had no idea what to expect.
Last week I was out with a friend for dinner in that neighborhood and asked her if we could go see it.
It is a HUGE stone statue!!!
It was very cool and exciting to see.
The first thing I wanted to do when we got there was of course climb it. That's a normal first reaction, right? I did just that! It was like being a kid at a playground, and I enjoyed it much more than was probably "normal" or "appropriate". Oh well! I'm a kid sometimes, and I like it! It just makes my life more fun.
Anyway... It is located on Troll Ave. N. and N. 36th St. under the 99 bridge. In it's had is a real VW Bug. It is 18 feet tall and is made of steel, wire, and concrete.
The Troll is very impressive and I would recommended everyone that has the chance, go see it! It is much more exciting in person.
