Fremont Troll and Gas Works Park

Went sightseeing today. The first place I visited was the Fremont Troll. It's been part of Seattle since 1990 and can be found under the Aurora bridge and 35th street. His eye is made from a hubcap and in his left hand he clutches an old VW beetle. See this location in Live Maps.


After visiting the troll, I went to Gas Works Park which is near by. The park used to be an old gas manufacturing plant. It was eventually shut down and turned into a park. Besides it's green areas, it also has some remains of the old gas plant and several play areas for kids. See this location in Live Maps.


The park has a great view of Lake Union and provides an excellent northerly view of the Seattle skyline. Check out more pictures in my Picasa Web Album.
