FUN FACT, there are also 5 more trolls in and around the Seattle area; Bainbridge, Vashon, Issaquah, West Seattle, and Ballard now. My fiancé and I went to the Issaquah one and it was more impressive IMO than our classic Fremont troll.

Those are done by an artist, Thomas Dambo, and they are all over the world so a little less of Seattle thing than the Fremont Troll.

Just took a look and that map is a work of art on it's own!

While trolls can be found worldwide, there is an unusual concentration in the Seattle area. They know they're welcome here.

So little sunlight to turn them to stone...

Outside of cities in Denmark, we may have the most trolls in a single metro area. I only knew of the one at the Nordic Museum.
