**Fremont** is a [neighborhood](/wiki/List_of_neighborhoods_in_Seattle "List of neighborhoods in Seattle") in the North Central District of [Seattle](/wiki/Seattle "Seattle"), [Washington](/wiki/Washington_(state) "Washington (state)"), United States. Originally a separate city, it was annexed to Seattle in 1891. It is named after [Fremont, Nebraska](/wiki/Fremont,_Nebraska "Fremont, Nebraska"), the hometown of two of its founders: Luther H. Griffith and [Edward Blewett](/wiki/Edward_Blewett "Edward Blewett").[\[4\]](#cite_note-4)

## Geography

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Fremont,_Seattle&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Geography")\]

Fremont is situated along the [Fremont Cut](/wiki/Fremont_Cut "Fremont Cut") of the [Lake Washington Ship Canal](/wiki/Lake_Washington_Ship_Canal "Lake Washington Ship Canal") to the north of [Queen Anne](/wiki/Queen_Anne,_Seattle "Queen Anne, Seattle"), the east of [Ballard](/wiki/Ballard,_Seattle "Ballard, Seattle"), the south of [Phinney Ridge](/wiki/Phinney_Ridge,_Seattle "Phinney Ridge, Seattle"), and the southwest of [Wallingford](/wiki/Wallingford,_Seattle "Wallingford, Seattle"). Its boundaries are not formally fixed, but they can be thought of as consisting of the Ship Canal to the south, Stone Way N. to the east, N. 50th Street to the north, and 8th Avenue N.W. to the west.

The neighborhood's main thoroughfares are Fremont and Aurora Avenues N. (north- and southbound) and N. 46th, 45th, 36th, and 34th Streets (east- and westbound). The [Aurora Bridge](/wiki/Aurora_Bridge "Aurora Bridge") (George Washington Memorial Bridge) carries Aurora Avenue ( [State Route 99](/wiki/Washington_State_Route_99 "Washington State Route 99")) over the Ship Canal to the top of Queen Anne Hill, and the [Fremont Bridge](/wiki/Fremont_Bridge_(Seattle) "Fremont Bridge (Seattle)") carries Fremont Avenue over the canal to the hill's base. A major shopping district is centered on Fremont Avenue N. just north of the bridge.

## Counterculture

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Fremont,_Seattle&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Counterculture")\]

[![](//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/d3/FremontTroll.jpg/220px-FremontTroll.jpg)](/wiki/File:FremontTroll.jpg) The _[Fremont Troll](/wiki/Fremont_Troll "Fremont Troll")_

Fremont is sometimes referred to as "The People's Republic of Fremont"[\[5\]](#cite_note-5) or "The Artists' Republic of Fremont,"[\[6\]](#cite_note-6)[\[7\]](#cite_note-Lenin-7) and was at one time a center of [counterculture](/wiki/Counterculture "Counterculture"); however, the neighborhood has become somewhat [gentrified](/wiki/Gentrification "Gentrification") since the 1990s.[\[8\]](#cite_note-8)[\[9\]](#cite_note-9) It remains home to [a controversial statue](/wiki/Statue_of_Lenin,_Seattle "Statue of Lenin, Seattle") of [Vladimir Lenin](/wiki/Vladimir_Lenin "Vladimir Lenin") salvaged from [Slovakia](/wiki/Slovakia "Slovakia") by an art lover from Washington state who was teaching in the area at the time. After the 1989 fall of the [Communist](/wiki/Communism "Communism") government, he brought the statue to Fremont with money raised through a mortgage on his house.[\[7\]](#cite_note-Lenin-7) The _[Fremont Troll](/wiki/Fremont_Troll "Fremont Troll")_ is an 18-foot-tall (5 m) [concrete](/wiki/Concrete "Concrete") [sculpture](/wiki/Sculpture "Sculpture") of a [troll](/wiki/Troll "Troll") crushing a [Volkswagen Beetle](/wiki/Volkswagen_Beetle "Volkswagen Beetle") in its left hand, created in 1990 and situated under the north end of the Aurora Bridge.[\[10\]](#cite_note-10) The street running under the bridge and ending at the Troll was renamed Troll Avenue N. in 2005.[\[11\]](#cite_note-11)

The neighborhood also features various signs giving advice such as "set your watch back five minutes," "set your watch forward five minutes," and "throw your watch away."[\[12\]](#cite_note-12) Other landmarks include the [Fremont Rocket](/wiki/Fremont_Rocket "Fremont Rocket"), a [Fairchild C-119](/wiki/Fairchild_C-119_Flying_Boxcar "Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar") tail boom modified to resemble a missile,[\[13\]](#cite_note-rocket-13) and the outdoor sculpture _[Waiting for the Interurban](/wiki/Waiting_for_the_Interurban "Waiting for the Interurban")_.[\[14\]](#cite_note-14)

Since the early 1970s some Fremont residents have been referring to their neighborhood as "The Center of the Universe"[\[15\]](#cite_note-15) (which also appears on a large "Welcome" sign).[\[16\]](#cite_note-16) An unofficial motto " _De Libertas Quirkas_" ("Freedom to be Peculiar" in [mock Latin](/wiki/Mock_Latin "Mock Latin")) appears in brochures and websites about the area.[\[13\]](#cite_note-rocket-13)

## Events and institutions

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Fremont,_Seattle&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Events and institutions")\]

The [Fremont Arts Council](/wiki/Fremont_Arts_Council "Fremont Arts Council") sponsors several highly attended annual events in Fremont. The [Summer Solstice Parade & Pageant](/wiki/Summer_Solstice_Parade_%26_Pageant "Summer Solstice Parade & Pageant") has made Fremont famous for its [nude](/wiki/Public_nudity "Public nudity") [Solstice Cyclists](/wiki/Solstice_Cyclists "Solstice Cyclists"). Another event is Troll-a-ween.

Also important to Fremont is the large block on Linden Avenue N. that contains the [B.F. Day Elementary School](/wiki/B.F._Day_Elementary_School "B.F. Day Elementary School") and B.F. Day Playground, two separate entities. B.F. Day is the longest continually operating school in the [Seattle school district](/wiki/Seattle_Public_Schools "Seattle Public Schools"), having been founded in 1892.[\[17\]](#cite_note-17)

Another longstanding institution is the Fremont branch of the [Seattle Public Library](/wiki/Seattle_Public_Library "Seattle Public Library"). An informal library predated the 1891 annexation of Fremont to Seattle, and annexation made it the city's first branch library.[\[18\]](#cite_note-18) The present structure dates from 1921.

Besides the B.F. Day playfield, Fremont has three small public parks, [Fremont Peak Park](/wiki/Fremont_Peak_Park "Fremont Peak Park") just south of N. 45th Street, Ross Park and Playground at 3rd Avenue NW and NW 43rd Street, and A.B. Ernst Park next to the library. Ernst Park was named for Ambrose Ernst, a Fremont resident. He was known as the "Father of City Playfields". He served on the Board of Park Commissioners from 1906 to 1913 and helped implement Seattle's Olmsted parks plan.[\[19\]](#cite_note-19)

The [Burke–Gilman Trail](/wiki/Burke%E2%80%93Gilman_Trail "Burke–Gilman Trail") passes through Fremont just north of the [Lake Washington Ship Canal](/wiki/Lake_Washington_Ship_Canal "Lake Washington Ship Canal"). The large [Gas Works Park](/wiki/Gas_Works_Park "Gas Works Park") is just east of Fremont on the north shore of [Lake Union](/wiki/Lake_Union "Lake Union").

## Companies and organizations

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Fremont,_Seattle&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Companies and organizations")\]

[Theo Chocolate](/wiki/Theo_Chocolate "Theo Chocolate")'s [factory and store](/wiki/Fremont_Trolley_Barn "Fremont Trolley Barn"), golf and daywear label [Cutter & Buck](/wiki/Cutter_%26_Buck "Cutter & Buck")'s corporate headquarters, and [Brooks Sports](/wiki/Brooks_Sports "Brooks Sports")' headquarters are located here. Fremont has several breweries including [Hale's Ales](/wiki/Hale%27s_Ales "Hale's Ales") brewery and [Fremont Brewing](/wiki/Fremont_Brewing "Fremont Brewing"). The original [Redhook](/wiki/Redhook_Ale_Brewery "Redhook Ale Brewery") breweries were located in Fremont until their closures in 1988 and 2002, respectively. [Google](/wiki/Google "Google") opened offices here in 2006, and the parent company of [Geocaching.com](/wiki/Geocaching "Geocaching") is headquartered in Fremont.

A growing number of technology companies have offices in Fremont, including [Adobe Systems](/wiki/Adobe_Systems "Adobe Systems"), the [Allen Institute for Brain Science](/wiki/Allen_Institute_for_Brain_Science "Allen Institute for Brain Science"), [SDL PLC](/wiki/SDL_PLC "SDL PLC"), [Groundspeak](/wiki/Groundspeak "Groundspeak"), [Impinj](/wiki/Impinj "Impinj"), [Sporcle](/wiki/Sporcle "Sporcle"), and [Tableau Software](/wiki/Tableau_Software "Tableau Software"). Most of these offices are along the [Lake Washington Ship Canal](/wiki/Lake_Washington_Ship_Canal "Lake Washington Ship Canal").

The neighborhood is home to a number of nonprofit organizations, including Literacy Source and Provail, a provider of social services to people with disabilities and an affiliate of the [United Cerebral Palsy](/wiki/United_Cerebral_Palsy "United Cerebral Palsy") network.

A wedge-shaped building on Leary Way, a diagonal street cutting across Fremont from the adjacent Ballard neighborhood, once housed the legendary Seattle producer [Jack Endino](/wiki/Jack_Endino "Jack Endino")'s Reciprocal Recording studio, where he recorded (among many other records) [Nirvana](/wiki/Nirvana_(band) "Nirvana (band)")'s first demos and the band's debut on [Sub Pop](/wiki/Sub_Pop "Sub Pop") records, _[Bleach](/wiki/Bleach_(Nirvana_album) "Bleach (Nirvana album)")_.
