Goose Hill305 viewsKite Hill got its name because it was a good place to fly kites from, but it should be renamed Goose Hill because the Canada geese have taken it over.Sep 23, 2021

Reclamation211 viewsBy the time the Gas Works shut down in 1956, this site was a toxic hellhole. Advanced bioremediation methods were used to clean it up and turn it into a public park, which opened in 1973. The gas plant was left intact as a museum piece.Sep 23, 2021

Garage Access254 viewsThe tiny garage in the last picture is apparently associated with the house on top and accessed from the house via the gate on the left. It doesn't strike me as a terribly convenient arrangement.Sep 23, 2021

Mini-Roundabout on 36th Street232 viewsAfter viewing the Troll, we headed west on North 36th Street, passing this cute little tree whimsically placed in the middle of the street as kind of a mini-roundabout. Sep 23, 2021

Fremont Lane232 viewsA narrow unpaved path that leads to heaven knows where.Sep 23, 2021

Unofficial Car274 viewsI hadn't seen one of these VW crew-cab pickups in quite a while. I failed to check what the rest of the word is that the blue sack is covering up because I figured the owner would think I was trying to steal it and have me arrested.Sep 23, 2021

Garage on 36th Street237 viewsThis rather bare-bones garage doesn't seem to have any exit other than the main door on the street. It could be a trap.Sep 23, 2021

A bone of contention214 viewsAs one might imagine, the statue has been a matter of controversy ever since it was emplaced here. You can read the pros and cons at e.g. https://seattle.curbed.com/2019/8/27/20830552/seattle-fremont-vladimir-lenin-statue-history.Sep 23, 2021

The Communist and the Cafes215 viewsLew Carpenter, the American who bought the Lenin statue in Poprad, Slovakia, wanted to start a restaurant with the statue out front, but he was killed in a car accident in 1995 before he could realize his dream. However, in a way it did come to fruition: Lenin now stands in a plaza in front of two cafes. Sep 23, 2021

A Place to Die For270 viewsThe northwest corner of the multi-street intersection where Evanston Avenue comes down to join 36th Street and Fremont Place is occupied by this stately tree and a funeral parlor, of which only the parking lot is visible here.Sep 23, 2021
