The official name of the Aurora Bridge is the George Washington Memorial Bridge. It was dedicated on George Washington's 200th birthday - February 22, 1932.
The little grassy park under the North end of the bridge is a nice spot - just east of downtown Fremont and Peet's Coffee, PCC, Adobe, Getty Images, Google Seattle. The Burke-Gilman Trail runs by the park which overlooks Lake Union, some cool houseboats and the Seattle skyline.
It's a nice spot for a walk, or a picnic lunch.
The Fremont Troll is under this bridge (to the North).
