Description: The Fremont Bridge in Seattle, Washington, is a historic double-leaf bascule bridge that spans the Lake Washington Ship Canal, connecting the neighborhoods of Fremont and Queen Anne. Opened in 1917, it is one of the busiest bascule bridges in the world, raising and lowering its leaves to allow maritime traffic to pass through. The bridge is notable for its distinctive blue and orange color scheme, which was chosen by the local community. It also features a control tower that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Fremont Bridge is not only a vital transportation link but also a beloved local landmark, often celebrated for its quirky public art installations and its role in the annual Fremont Solstice Parade.
