Fremont Troll

Fremont Troll Courtest of Michael Matti

The Fremont Troll lives under the Aurora Bridge and is Seattle’s most friendly and popular statue. The rumor in the early 1900s was that troll sightings used to happen in the neighborhood of Fremont, which led to this larger-than-life statue. The streets around the area are always packed with people climbing the Troll to get pictures. Although the troll is holding a car in his hand, yours will be more than safe around him.
