The Fremont troll

I saw this last summer when we were visiting friends in the area… if you’re ever in the Seattle area, drop by the north end of the Aurora bridge and bring your camera. (No, I neglected to take mine that day)

It took a while for me to find a photo online - check Troller.com for this and 30-some other unique statues from around the world.

Apparently, the Fremont troll was sculpted by four Seattle area artists — Steve Badanes, Will Martin, Donna Walter and Ross Whitehead — for the Fremont Arts Council. The sculpture is 18-ft. tall - and quite intimidating, when you come upon it suddenly.
