The Fremont Troll

The Fremont Troll was designed and built by Steve Badanes, Will Martin, Donna Walter, and Ross Witehead with help from the community. Sponsored by the Fremont Arts Council, the project aimed to build a greater sense of place in the neighborhood through art and, with it, a stronger community. The Troll was chosen in an open competition in which the community voted on proposals by four finalists. Many volunteers helped prepare the site and create the ferro-cement sculpture, with support from community time, money, and in-kind donations, as well as a grant from the Seattle Neighborhood Matching Funds Program. Maintenance is provided by the Fremont Arts Council and the public.
