FREMONT BRIDGE
BRIDGE
( 26)
Built in 1916 and since dwarfed by the far taller George Washington Memorial
Bridge (colloquially known as the Aurora Bridge), the distinctive orange-and-blue Fre-
mont Bridge became necessary after the construction of the Lake Washington Ship
Canal linked Lake Union with Puget Sound. It is the busiest drawbridge in the US,
opening over 30 times a day to let boat traffic pass through.

Adding a bit of Willy Wonka to Fremont's atypical
street life is this chocolate factory on the site of the old Redhood Brewery (now moved
to Woodinville, WA). The micro-chocolate producer makes organic chocolate, produ-
cing an aroma that permeates half the neighborhood. Follow the smell to the small
store, where you can put your name down for a factory tour.
