Fremont Troll
The Fremont Troll is a large public sculpture located under the Aurora Bridge in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Created by artist Steve Badanes and his team in 1990, the troll is made of concrete and rebar, depicting a giant holding a real Volkswagen Beetle. It has become a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of the quirky character of the Fremont area.
The sculpture was commissioned as part of a community effort to revitalize the neighborhood and promote public art. The Fremont Troll is not only a unique piece of art but also serves as a gathering spot for locals and visitors, contributing to the vibrant culture of Seattle.
