Sightseeing

Gorgeous waterfront park, Gas Works Park contains remnants of the sole remaining coal gasification plant in the United States. It is interesting to walk through the remnants of the plant and learn about how it was used to gasify coal. Today, it has sprawling green meadows, walking trails, and a playground. In the summer you will see lots of picnickers enjoying the sun and impromptu concerts by local musicians.

This unique sculpture is a true Seattle icon. The whimsical artwork took roots after Fremont launched a competition to clean up the area under Aurora Bridge in 1989. Sculptor Steve Badanes' troll, inspired by the Billy Goats' Gruff fairytale, won the contest, and now tourists far and wide flock to see the 18-foot high beast squatting underneath the bridge, crushing a Volkswagen Beetle in his hand.
