Fremont

If you have half a day free when in Seattle, I suggest you go hang out awhile in a neighborhood called Freemont.
This seems to be a most interesting counter-culture type neighborhood. Lots of punks, artists, and musician types seem to gravitate to this area. There are some interesting shopping options here, but there are Roadside Attractions you don't want to miss.

-The Fremont Troll, located at N. 36th St.
-Under the Aurora Avenue Bridge (aka George Washington Bridge). This is a giant sculpture of a Troll made of cement. You'll be amazed at the size!
-The Rocket, located at Evanston Ave. & North 35th St. They've basically mounted a real cold war era Russian rocket onto a building!
-The Lenin Statue, located at 600 N. 36th & Evanston Ave. (a block from the Rocket).

All these are great photo opportunities and a more ecclectic activity to do than the usual sightseeing fare.
