Fremont, Seattle, King County, Washington, 98109
Fremont is a Seattle neighborhood that was formerly a separate city until being incorporated to Seattle in 1891. It is named after Fremont, Nebraska, where two of its founders, Luther H. Griffith and Edward Blewett, grew up. Fremont, often known as “The People’s Republic of Fremont” or “The Artists’ Republic of Fremont,” was formerly a counterculture hotspot. The Fremont Rocket, a Fairchild C-119 tail boom adapted to resemble a missile, and the outdoor sculpture Waiting for the Interurban are two notable sights.
