Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to the Van.
It's Noah here with my dog andco-host, noodles the Woodle.
We are sitting here veryexcited to bring back the story
of the Fremont Troll, a massivecement troll that claims the
shadows underneath Seattle'sAurora Bridge.
It's an interesting locationwith an even more interesting
(00:23):
backstory.
Noodles and I paid him a visitlast September.
I hope you find value in ourrevisit today as we pave the way
for additional interviewepisodes, further deep dives, as
well as some casualconversations here and there
that I hope you'll enjoy.
All very exciting and justaround the corner, but for now,
(00:45):
let's journey to the streets ofSeattle, bypass the markets,
cafes and venues and explorewhat lurks deep in the shadows.
Safe travels, losing down thestreet.
I wonder where this road wouldlead.
Wonder where this road wouldlead.
So many possibilities.
(01:06):
Care to share what you think.
Oh, noodle Dolls, what do yousee?
Backroad Odyssey.
In the bustling metropolis ofSeattle Washington, a curious
(01:34):
resident claims the shadowsbeneath Aurora Bridge.
Those who dare to venture belowthe bridge more accurately,
those that survive to tell thetale venture below the bridge
More accurately.
Those that survive to tell thetale speak of his sheer size,
stern gaze and possessive nature, but few can tell you the
reason for his residency andthat, my friends, is a story
(01:57):
worth telling.
This is the story of theFremont Troll.
Fremont Troll, our fable,begins with the children's story
the Three Billy Goats, gruff, aNorwegian tale first translated
into English in 1859.
(02:17):
It is the primary inspirationfor the troll's residency in the
dark under the bridge.
In the event you've not heardthis story, let me refresh your
memory.
Once upon a time there werethree billy goats who were to go
(02:40):
up to the hillside to makethemselves fat, and the name of
these three was Gruff.
On the way up was a bridge overa cascading stream they had to
cross, and under the bridgelived a great ugly troll with
eyes as big as saucers and anose as long as a poker.
(03:03):
So first of all came theyoungest, bill Goat Gruff, to
cross the bridge.
Trip trap, trip, trip trap,trip trap With the bridge.
Who's that tripping over mybridge, roared the troll.
Oh, it is only I, the tiniestBilly Goat Gruff, and I'm going
(03:23):
to the hillside to make myselffat, said the Billy Goat with
such a small voice.
Now I'm coming to gobble you up, said the troll.
Oh, no, pray, don't take me.
I'm too little that I am, saidthe Billy Goat, Wait a bit till
the second Billy Goat Gruffcomes.
He's much bigger.
(03:44):
Well, be off with you, said thetroll.
Wait a bit till the secondBilly Goat Gruff comes.
He's much bigger.
Well, be off with you, said thetroll.
A little while after came thesecond Billy Goat Gruff to cross
the bridge.
Trip trap, trip trap, trip trapwent the bridge.
Who's that tripping over mybridge?
Roared the troll.
Oh, it's the second Billy GoatGruff and I'm going up to the
(04:07):
hillside to make myself fat,said the billy goat, who hadn't
such a small voice.
Now I'm coming to gobble you up, said the troll.
Oh no, don't take me, wait tillthe big billy goat gruff comes.
He's much bigger.
Very well, be off with you,said the troll.
But just then came the big billygoat gruff.
(04:29):
Trip trap, trip trap, trip trapwent the bridge, for the billy
goat was so heavy that thebridge creaked and groaned under
him.
Who's that tramping over mybridge?
Roared the troll.
It's I, the big billy goatgruff, said the billy goat, who
(04:50):
had an ugly horse voice of hisown.
Now I'm coming to gobble you up, roared the troll.
Well, come along, I've got twospears and I'll poke your
eyeballs out at your ears.
I've got besides two curlingstones and I'll crush you to
bits, body and bones.
That was what the big billygoat said.
(05:13):
And then he flew at the trolland poked his eyes out with his
horns and crushed him to bits,body and bones, and tossed him
into the cascade.
And after that he went up tothe hillside.
There the billy goats got sofat that they were scarcely able
to walk home again.
(05:33):
And if the fat hasn't fallenoff them, why?
They're still fat.
And so snip, snap, snout.
This tale's told out.
Snap, snap, snout.
This tale's told out.
This is the tale that inspiredthe sculpting of the 18-foot,
13,000-pound Fremont Troll.
(05:55):
But what's the context?
Why the Fremont neighborhoodand what other events and
circumstances prompted theTroll's creation?
Noodles and I investigate.
We are in the van now.
We passed the troll somethinglike five times.
We're trying to find parking.
Was not expecting it, but thetroll is extremely popular.
(06:17):
Even blocks down the road youcan see people walking towards
the troll.
I've had a day or two to takein this specific neighborhood,
not popular with artists,students, young professionals,
largely, but not entirely, inthe tech industry, but it wasn't
always this way.
In fact, the story of thisneighborhood of Fremont itself
is as intimately tied with thesculpting of the troll as the
(06:41):
story that inspired thesculpting itself.
All right, I do need to focusand find a parking space.
Here's to hoping.
Fremont is founded on a landdevelopment located along a body
of water that links LakeWashington, eventually, to the
Pacific Ocean.
The neighborhood was, at itsinception, entirely separate
(07:01):
from Seattle.
It dealt with its own issues,maintained.
Thank you, the namesake for theTrolls' future neighborhood.
(07:25):
Their efforts to sparkdevelopment in the neighborhood
are successful.
In 1891, the town is annexed toSeattle.
Bridges are built, a successfulsawmill thrives, canals are dug
and locks fostering thetransport of goods are finished.
The Fremont area, then, isassociated for decades with
(07:45):
their successful sawmill,plentiful warehouses and a
general population ofworking-class folk.
But growth and progress can onlybe maintained for so long.
Construction of the GeorgeWashington Bridge, most commonly
referred to as the AuroraBridge, in 1932 marks the start
(08:06):
of a slow decline in economicgrowth in Fremont.
The sawmill closes, rail andtrolley services lose popularity
and cease service, and theneighborhood develops a
reputation as hazardous orotherwise unstable.
Until that is, the 1960s baby,when low rents brought about by
(08:27):
this reputation attract students, artists and those generally
looking to distance themselvesfrom the commotion of the city.
For decades this trendcontinues.
This influx of young artistsand similar minds organize
Sunday flea markets, plan eventsand grow a sense of Fremont
(08:49):
frivolity and community thatseeps into the very identity of
the neighborhood.
Across the water from downtownSeattle who's that?
Tripping over my bridge roaredthe troll, lord the Troll.
Change comes often and fast.
(09:12):
In the 80s and 90s, a tech boomin the city explodes.
Companies look for space andFremont, with its low cost of
living and room for development,begins to look incredibly
attractive to companies likeAdobe Systems, who move around
500 employees across the waterinto a 300,000 square foot
(09:32):
building on the canal.
Other tech companies follow,tempted again by the low rent
and the promise of space.
This in turn boosts localbusinesses, invites visitors
from downtown and elsewhere andpredictablyably increases rent.
What happens, then, to theseartists, students and longtime
(09:54):
residents of Fremont?
Now I'm coming to gobble you up, said the troll.
We found parking.
It's maybe a 10-minute walk tothe troll Each time I drove past
.
Yeah, I got to see the troll,but I also got to see people
interacting with the troll,people walking to the troll,
(10:14):
taking pictures with it,climbing it, and nearly every
car that's parked was there tosee the troll.
And this idea kind of brings meto my next question.
Knowing the general context ofthe neighborhood, its history,
what prompted the creation ofthis troll in the first place,
both in general and thenspecifically under the Aurora
(10:38):
Bridge?
I don't know.
At least it's a nice day outNoodles and I don't mind walking
.
Of course there is resistance bylongtime residents to
increasing rent and the influxof businesses, and so the
copious amount of artists in theneighborhood, partly in
response to encroaching techcompanies and partly to reclaim
(10:59):
the sense of Fremont communityand artistry, create the Fremont
Arts Council in 1979.
Arts Council in 1979.
The idea behind this council isto commission and create art in
the Fremont neighborhood thatwill solidify a sense of
community, a collective focalpoint, through art Projects like
Waiting for the Interroban, analuminum sculpture of six people
(11:24):
waiting for an old streetcar,are created, acknowledging the
neighborhood's past whileproviding points of interest in
the present.
That's the idea, and these artcommissions often focus on areas
that require attention.
One of these areas is a spacebeneath the Aurora Bridge, a
location long littered withgarbage, exposed needles and
(11:47):
otherwise completely ignored.
There is a growing sense at thetime, because this area under
the bridge is located in theheart of a residential area and
very visible that something hasto be done.
On the way up was a bridge overa cascading stream they had to
cross and under the bridge liveda great ugly troll with eyes as
(12:11):
big as saucers and a nose aslong as a poker.
To clean up the area under thisbridge, the Fremont Art Council
organizes an art competition.
Hundreds of designs aresubmitted and the winner is to
be picked not by a panel ofpeople but and this is really
important by popular vote.
(12:32):
The neighborhood itself willchoose what to do with the space
.
An idea put forth by SteveBedanez and four artists wins
the vote.
It's decided the area underAurora Bridge will house a
concrete troll inspired by achildren's tale.
The end result, made possibleby three months of work by Steve
(12:56):
the artist, an endless streamof local volunteers and a
$20,000 grant won by the FremontArt Council.
From Seattle, who had recentlystarted the Neighborhood
Matching Fund, is a new residentchosen by Fremont itself.
A single, shiny metal eye looksout across the water.
Messy hair frames a contortedface.
(13:19):
One of two gangly, gargantuanhands crushes a Volkswagen.
There he lies beneath thebridge watching, waiting Of all
of the options submitted.
Why did the community itselfchoose a troll?
(13:39):
The troll is in front of me now.
I've been here for 20 minutesor so.
Right away you don't realizehow big it's going to be.
Even driving past it, you don'tknow until you're right up next
to it.
Like I said earlier, there'speople climbing up, there's
people touching it, takingphotos.
But what strikes me most iswhere this troll is, looking
(14:00):
Right across the water, underthis massive bridge towards
downtown Seattle.
So here's some questions whywas it built?
Why was it built this way, andwhat does the troll mean in
general?
To start answering this, Ithink you only have to listen to
one fact that I stumbled uponacross my research From 1988 to
(14:21):
1990, real estate values doubledin Fremont.
The Fremont Troll was completedin 1990.
The answer, then, in my view,lies where we started with a
children's tale.
Well, be off with you, said thetroll.
On the surface, the three billygoats, gruff is a story about
(14:46):
greed.
If you continually want moreand more, in the end you'll be
worse off.
You'll never be satisfied.
The troll could have easily goneafter the first goat or the
second, and so the Fremont trollmade during a time of rapid
change and uncertainty is both acaution against greed and a
(15:07):
warning to those always lookingfor the next thing, the newest
development.
At the same time, however, thetroll transformed a neglected
area, is visited by thousandsand is intimately now associated
with the neighborhood ofFremont.
The troll, then, both initiateschange and warns against its
(15:28):
easy rushed implementation.
Although it's based on achildren's story, a simple moral
against greed, the troll at itscore seems to be promoting
mindful moderation, thoughtfulchange, thoughtful action,
compassionate change,compassionate action.
If you desire more, think aboutthe implications of getting it.
(15:51):
The new businesses and youngprofessionals now exist in
collaboration with the artisticlegacy of the neighborhood.
Each aspect of the communitycohabitates above the looming
troll beneath the bridge.
The next time you drive acrossthe Aurora Bridge to or from the
storied neighborhood of Fremont, know that its troll lies
(16:15):
stoically beneath eyes acrossthe waters, fremont itself to
its back and with that snip snapsnout, this tale's told out
(16:42):
it's Noah here.
I hope you enjoyed our revisittoday.
Truly a spot to visit and astory to be heard.
I hope our friend the troll isdoing well.
Next week we explore LookoutMountain detail the fabled
battle above the clouds thatoccurred along its steep slopes
and continue our weekly episodes, including, as I said in the
(17:04):
beginning, interviews, which isvery exciting for the show, and
more varied episodes soon tofollow.
Look forward to that.
Otherwise, be good to eachother.
Where to next?
Well, you know, lookoutMountain Cheers.
