From Mat’s trips

A feel for Fremont

The Fremont Bridge and its neon Rapunzel establish the arrival. The Troll is the expected landmark; the Ship Canal gives the neighborhood a rhythm of rowers, boats, walkers and cyclists.

Along the Burke-Gilman Trail, look across to the Queen Anne shore and leave room to wander into the shops and streets above the water. Fremont Brewing has been a dependable group stop for me, with outdoor seating and an easy atmosphere.

Fremont works as a full neighborhood day, but it also connects naturally to Wallingford and Gas Works when you want to keep going.

Shape your day

  1. Start at the Troll and walk the public-art circuit.

  2. Move down toward the bridge and Ship Canal; follow a Burke Gilman segment.

  3. Choose one activity: shopping, climbing, transfer-station viewing with children or a rowing-oriented walk.

  4. Finish at Fremont Brewing, then continue into Wallingford and Gas Works if energy allows.
