Lily's Fremont guidebook
Upper Fremont is an easy part of Seattle to stay in. It's charming and walkable, close to everything, and doesn't feel touristy. Lower Fremont's shops and restaurants are a short walk away, and the canal paths, parks and downtown are all close.
A “French-ish” Fremont spot that's great for date night, brunch, or the chef's counter tasting menu. Book ahead!
