Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

Visiting one of the trolls from The NW Trolls: Way of the Bird King Project

The Pacific Northwest now has six amazing trolls to check out! These larger-than-life trolls are located in Portland, Bainbridge Island, Issaquah, Ballard, West Seattle, and Vashon Island. The whimsical trolls are hand built by environmental Danish artist Thomas Dambo. This public art project is titled NW Trolls: Way of the Bird Project. You can read more about it here.

The idea is to go walking through the woods and go "troll hunting", since the exact location of the trolls isn't given. Bruun Idun is located near the beach right after the pool area.
