Fremont Troll, Seattle, WA
The Fremont Troll is one of Seattle's most iconic landmarks, located beneath the north end of the George Washington Memorial Bridge in the Fremont neighborhood. The sculpture, which was created by four local artists in 1989, stands 18 feet tall and weighs 13 tons. The troll is made from steel rebar, wire mesh and concrete and is holding a real Volkswagen Beetle in its left hand. Its right arm contains a time capsule that is not to be opened until 2125.
The inspiration for the sculpture comes from Scandinavian folklore where trolls often live under bridges and steal children who misbehave. Although Seattle's troll doesn't look like a traditional troll because it has only three toes on each foot, two eyes instead of four, no nose and much bigger ears than normal trolls would have.
Fremont Troll has been featured in various movies over the years such as 10 Things I Hate About You, Sleepless In Seattle and Speechless. As well as being used as a backdrop for music videos by bands like Death Cab For Cutie and Pearl Jam. And it has recently become more popular with tourists who enjoy taking pictures with the sculpture or just enjoying its presence from afar.
At night, it is lit up with LED lights that brighten up this side of Fremont giving it an enchanting atmosphere. It has become an important part of Seattle’s culture and attracts thousands of people every year who come to get a glimpse of this unique piece of public art that makes Seattle special and unique!
