Activity Overview
If you think that monsters under the bed are stuff that makes children's nightmares, you haven't seen the troll under the bridge in Seattle. The Fremont Troll is both scary and fascinating. It is a public structure that is part of the bridge rehabilitation program led by the Fremont Arts Council to help reclaim the area which used to be a place for illegal activities. The troll was inspired by the Scandinavian story, Three Billy Goats Gruff. Locals and tourists who have seen the Fremont Troll say that this is the coolest thing that they have seen in Seattle and it's definitely a must-visit.
