APATOSAURS
MONUMENT
( 28)
Along the banks of the ship canal, Fremont Canal Park extends west, following
the extension of the Burke-Gilman Trail. Right at the start of the park, at the bottom of
Phinney Ave N, you'll see two giant, life-size 'apatosaurs.' These are the world's
largest known topiaries, given to Fremont by the Pacific Science Center.

MUSEUM

The History
House contains rotating exhibits focused on the history of the city's neighborhoods. It's
a good place to see photos of early Seattle. The building's colorful metal fence is anoth-
er piece of public art, built by blacksmith and welder Christopher Pauley. The fence
features brightly colored houses with open doors, a reflection of Fremont's welcoming
attitude.
