Home of the Solstice Parade (including the nude bike ride), and a really fun drunken time all over Fremont. Vendors, bad live music and eclectic crowds at the bars make for an interesting time. Friends who live in Fremont become especially valuable for a place to crash during the fair.

About Seattle
City overview
Seattle is the Puget Sound city where Elliott Bay, Lake Washington, the Ship Canal, and the Olympic and Cascade mountain views frame a compact but steep urban core. Pike Place Market, Capitol Hill, Fremont, Ballard, Belltown, the International District, and Seattle Center give the city its mix of seafood, coffee, music, tech, ferries, and long gray-season weather.
Food & drink
Seattle food is seafood, coffee, and immigrant counter culture: salmon is grilled or smoked, Dungeness crab and oysters come from cold Pacific waters, chowder lands in market bowls, and teriyaki shops turn grilled chicken with sweet soy sauce into a city staple. Pike Place Market, Ballard seafood rooms, the International District, Capitol Hill restaurants, and the Fremont-Ballard brewery belt add pho, sourdough, seasonal berries, roasters, and taprooms.
