I live … work … play in Seattle

INSIDE:
A guide on where to feast, sip, shop, play, walk your dog and live in Seattle’s coolest neighborhoods:

• Lake Union
• Fremont
• Queen Anne
• Artwalk
• Greenlake
• Wallingford
• Downtown Seattle
• Trivia Tour
• Dog Days
• Ask Joe

(shhh… don’t tell anyone!)

The self-proclaimed “Center of the Universe, the Republic of Fremont” — as the neighborhood calls itself — is unabashedly odd, with a statue of Lenin at its center, a car-munching troll beneath its bridge, and no end of characters — naked and otherwise — marching in its Solstice Parade. In other words, it feels like home to me.
