Quirky, artistic, and never boring, Fremont is one of Seattle's most-loved neighborhoods. Residents call it the "Center of the Known Universe" and if you are looking for apartments in Fremont, it may quickly become the center of your universe. Be prepared for the unique art scattered through the neighborhood. You're likely to see everything from a statue of Vladimir Lenin to a troll crushing a Volkswagen Beetle. The troll (of course ) sits under a bridge and was sculpted by four local artists in 1990.
Fremont is located along the north side of the Lake Washington Ship Canal, directly across from Seattle Pacific University. Woodland Park, home of the Woodland Park Zoo, borders the northern edge of the neighborhood. The University of Washington is a few minutes east of Fremont. This colorful, trendy, bohemian neighborhood is about four miles north of Downtown Seattle.
