In 1898 Fremont, the Seattle neighborhood that describes itself as “The Center of the Universe”, welcomed about 100 Laplanders (Sami) and their reindeer. Here perhaps the tail end of the herd poses at the intersection of Fremont Avenue and 34th Street. Fremont Drugs, the building upper-left survives, although it was recently moved one block west on 34th to make way for the new commercial buildings now (in 2003) under construction.
