Yesterday, after two years in Seattle, I finally visit Freemont and I was pleasantly surprise, nice neighbourhood, really close to downtown and near Lake Union and lots of hip shops and restaurants. Very tiny though, Mari and I explored the whole thing in a couple of hours.

One surprising thing that I had heard about is a statue of Lenin brought here from Slovaquia after the colapse of the Soviet Union. It is a pretty impressive bronce statue, around 5 meters tall and it is cool to see that in spite of the potential negative political connotations they decided that the historical and artistic value was worth keeping the statue there.
