What to do and see in Lake Union, Washington (WA): The Best Sights & Landmarks
In Seattle you simply can’t skip the Central Public Library – a modern architectural marvel of glass grids, unusual shapes, and a “book spiral” that climbs four stories. Stroll over to Pike Place Market to visit the original Starbucks and play catch with a fishmonger. In the heart of the city lies Chihuly Garden and Glass, which will dazzle you with its colorful and delicate works. Glide to the top of the Space Needle for panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges and Puget Sound.

The statue of Lenin on the corner should clue you in to the fact that everything about this neighborhood is alternative. Vegetarian cafes, eclectic shops, coffee houses, bookstores and street artists abound.

Seattle is a uniquely weird and cool place, and the Fremont Troll is an excellent example of all the creativity that makes this city great. While parking can be dicey, I highly recommend taking a jaunt around the Fremont neighborhood so that you can see the shops AND have a photo opportunity with the troll. Can't miss!

An 18-foot tall stone troll that lives under the Aurora Avenue Bridge.
Reviewed By kanemochi - Seattle, United States
The Fremont Troll is a mixed media colossal statue, located on N. 36th Street at Troll Avenue N., under the north end of the George Washington Memorial Bridge (also known as the Aurora Bridge). It is clutching an actual Volkswagen Beetle, as if it had just swiped it from the roadway above. The vehicle has a California license plate. The Troll is 5.5 meters (18 feet) high, weighs 6,000 kg (13,000 lb), and is made of steel, rebar, wire and concrete.
