Description:

Just outside downtown Seattle sits the creative Fremont neighborhood, characterized by quirky public art and a bohemian, offbeat lifestyle. Discover the self-proclaimed “Center of the Universe” and explore rustic music shops, bars with more than 50 beers on tap, and the Fremont Sunday Market.

Hop on the city’s renowned public transportation system for a quick bus ride from downtown Seattle to Fremont. Your tour begins inside the History House of Greater Seattle, a museum exhibiting the history and melting-pot heritage of Seattle’s neighborhoods. Throughout your journey your knowledgeable guide spouts local trivia, points out architectural highlights, and illustrates their passion for the Northwest.

Walk along the scenic north side of Lake Union and take a moment to notice the livelihood and sense of the community on the water—full of colorful sailboats, kayaks, and charming boathouses.

Under the Aurora Bridge you see the giant troll clasping a Volkswagen Bug—a sculpture made famous by the film 10 Things I Hate About You. Explore quaint boutiques, local galleries, a fair-trade 100 percent organic chocolate factory, and the outdoor Fremont Sunday Market—filled with artsy memorabilia and delectable bites.
