A short stride from the hum of Aurora Avenue, the Fremont walk begins under the cast shadow of the Fremont Troll and moves toward the smell of roasting cocoa and the click of ice in a shaker. Guides lead a small group through murals and quirky sculptures, pausing in compact bars where bartenders explain how Pacific Northwest botanicals shape each drink.
