Fremont is one of my favorite Seattle neighborhoods. We used to live nearby and spent a lot of time there. It’s a good blend of trendy/funky/artsy/hip/casual.
Chairs in a tree. It just fits in this neighborhood.

Theo Chocolate is a fantastic chocolate factory in Fremont. It is certified organic and fair trade. Located in the old Redhook Brewery brick building, they have a fantastic tour that takes your through the process of turning bean to bar. Plenty of tastings kept us all smiling.
After the tour, we needed a little dinner to balance out all the sweet. We went to ZapVerr, a delicious Thai restaurant. It was early and we had the place practically to ourselves. The modern interior was right up ‘R’s alley. He loved it!
Fremont has art all over the neighborhood. This is a painting/small mural on a metal conductor box.
As we were walking back to our car, we passed the Portage Bay Goods gift store. David looked in the window and recognized the greeting card/art display as being the artwork of one of his students so many years ago. David tight second year graphic design students how to make/manage/process their work on the computer. ride We have followed Frida Clement’s growth as an artist and have purchased some of her pieces in the past. I went into the store to buy one of her pieces, and when I left the store with my purchase, David was talking to Frida out front! Coincidentally , she was dropping off some items at the store. It was a sweet re-connect.
