This is mostly to save the link in a convenient place for me, but maybe others would be interested in this blog post about a hiking route through Fremont that explores the many stairways. I've actually long been fascinated by some of the stairways along the ridge, but I've never explored them and have never been to Fremont Peak Park. The blog is called Seattle Stairways Walks, and apparently its focus is just that. Very strange specialization!

I also appreciated the history of Fremont they've compiled. Amongst other things, I didn't know where Fremont got its name, nor that it was originally platted in 1888. QOTD: "Unfortunately for Fremont, in 1932 the Aurora Bridge opened."

Last summer I took [livejournal.com profile] catabolism and [livejournal.com profile] estimate_lad on a long hike through Fremont. They were spared any stairs, as I recall. They might not be so lucky next time.
