During our final hours in Seattle, we made a pilgrimage to the Fremont Troll. This very cool 20-foot tall by 30-foot wide concrete sculpture depicts a nasty-assed SOB slithering from the dark recesses under a highway overpass while crushing a VW bug with his left hand. Every year for Halloween, the good citizens of this Seattle subdivision give the Troll a bicycle wheel-rim nose ring, and plant a giant spider on his shoulder.
Our last stop in Seattle was the Wing Luke Asian Museum in Chinatown. Beyond this replica of an internment camp barracks lies a thoughtful multimedia exhibit examining the Japanese-American internment during World War II. (“Letter Cloud” by Erin Shie Palmer)
And thus "ends" our stay in Seattle.
