Fremont Troll
A concrete troll sculpture hiding beneath the Aurora Bridge, gripping a real Volkswagen Beetle. It is the emblem of the quirky Fremont neighborhood.
The Fremont Troll is a concrete sculpture completed in 1990. It is about 5.5 meters tall and crouches beneath the north end of the Aurora Bridge. Its left hand clutches a real Volkswagen Beetle. Inspired by Nordic legends of trolls living under bridges, it lets visitors climb onto its arm for photos. The Fremont neighborhood calls itself the 'Center of the Universe' and has a Lenin statue, the Waiting for the Interurban sculpture and a Sunday market. Admission is free. It can be walked together with Gas Works Park in about 20 minutes.
