This declaration is blazoned on a giant 1950s Cold War-era rocket fuselage, fully equipped with laser lights and a smoke machine, on the corner of N 35th Street and Evanston Ave North. In league with the rocket is the 17-foot hideous-yet-endearing troll under the Aurora Bridge, as is the raucous Summer Solstice Parade in all its stilted, puppet bearing, naked cyclist glory that drums to the beat of its own whacked-out marching band. <br /> Related article: A perfect day in Seattle <br />Fremont lives up to its motto, to a point. This neighbourhood, less than five miles north of the heart of downtown Seattle, continues its legacy of public art, everyday weirdness, and off-the-wall-events inclined towards nudity and costumes. Yet its popularity, soaring rent prices, new luxury condos, and inundation of high tech company offices have transformed it into something a tad different than its tie-dyed forefathers and mothers anticipated. <br />In the early 1900's, Fremont was centred around an assemblage of industries on the north of Lake Union shore. When the interurban rail line and trolley cutting through the neighbourhood were taken out of service in 1939 and 1941, the area went into rapid decline. Just north of the Fremont Bridge, a sculpture called Waiting for the Interurban commemorates the fallen rail line. These days, locals routinely decorate and costume the statues. <br />In the 1960s, low rent attracted a counter-culture of bohemians, bikers, students, dopers and artists. The artistic renaissance led residents to proclaim that they were the "Center of the Universe,<a href="http://www.abercrombies.at" target="_blank" class="postlink">http://www.abercrombies.at</a>." Today welcome signs still declare as much, even as the words "gentrification" and "yuppiedom" are muttered in the background. <br />Shop <br /> With a completely different vibe from the glitz of high-brow stores of downtown, Fremont retailers and galleries tend to be unique and independently-owned. Farm-fresh produce, artwork, textiles, and antiques can be perused weekly at the Fremont Sunday Market (400 N 34th Street, between N Phinney Ave and Canal Street). Set up along a closed-off section of N 34th Street, its stalls and cacophonous flea market host up to 200 motley vendors. <br />Both innovative and sassy, Hub and Bespoke (513 N 36th Street; 206-547-5730; <a href="http://www.hubandbespoke.com" target="_blank">www.hubandbespoke.com</a>) is a cycling boutique that caters to a distinctive slice of Seattle's bicycle commuting culture. Their motto is "bike your style", and they sell items like fashionable galoshes that fit over flats, vintage-inspired handlebar satchels and bike art. <br />Eat <br /> Fremont holds its own when it comes to delicious cuisine. Health nuts might implode with joy when visiting the Flying Apron Bakery (3510 Fremont Ave N; 206-442-1115; <a href="http://www.flyingapron.com" target="_blank">www.flyingapron.com</a>). It is gluten-free, vegan and organic. On top of that, the berry-dolloped tea cakes and vegetable pizza are delicious. <br />On the other end of the spectrum, Seattle has a raging lust after the best burger, and Fremont's brand spanking new Uneeda Burger (4306 Fremont Ave N; 206-547-2600) draws many connoisseurs its way. Inhabiting a remodelled auto garage, Uneeda burger packs a sumptuous menu. The burger with caramelized onions, watercress and blue cheese (made with local, grass-fed Kobe beef) is pure, juicy hedonism. <br />Drink <br /> Cozied up next to the University District, Fremont's bar scene continues to build momentum, for better or worse. Folks come from all over the city for the beer selection at Brouwer's Cafe (400 N. 35th Street; 206-267- 2437; <a href="http://www.brouwerscafe.blogspot.com" target="_blank">www.brouwerscafe.blogspot.com</a>). If you can get through its defensive line of bouncers, Brouwer's offers 64 beers on tap and more than 300 bottled brands, not to mention more than 60 kinds of scotch,<a href="http://nikefreerunsskos.webs.com" target="_blank" class="postlink">Nike Free</a>. <br />Fremont also is abreast with the high Pacific Northwest standard for the other ultra-important brew: coffee,<a href="http://www.abercrombies.at" target="_blank" class="postlink">Abercrombie österreich</a>. Outside of ETG Cafe (3512 Fremont Place N; 206 633-3685) a banner states in vintage lettering "Coffee, Scones, Pastries, Live Girls." There are no actual dancers, but the cafe produces an unworldly espresso that zings you to your hair follicles. The antique cash register and ethereal ceiling mural are among the creative details that make this an awesome place to caffeinate. <br />Other Resources <br /><a href="http://www.fremontuniverse.com" target="_blank">www.fremontuniverse.com</a> - a blog that provides up to the minute updates on all aspects of Fremont. <br /><a href="http://www.fremontseattle.com" target="_blank">www.fremontseattle.com</a> - the chamber of commerce's official site that includes information about neighbourhood history, events, local businesses. <br /> <br /> &copy; 2010 Lonely Planet.
