Fremont and Environs

Fremont and Environs

If you ever wondered where the center of the universe is, look no further—the self-styled "Republic of Fremont" was declared just this by its residents in the 1960s. For many years, Fremont enjoyed its reputation as Seattle's most eccentric neighborhood, home to hippies, starving artists, bikers, and rat-race dropouts. On weekends, the downtown strip looks like one big frat party, as a bunch of new bars draw in a very young crowd from downtown Seattle, the University District, and the city's suburbs.
