Are these details incorrect?

1. Bridges

The Burke-Gilman Trail passes under the Fremont Bridge and the Aurora Bridge. Both span the Ship Canal, although only the drawbridge opens for boat traffic.
2. Lake Washington Rowing Club

Both athletic teams and individuals hoist their racing shells into the flow from here. The club’s non-profit activities also include training lessons for beginners.
3. Adobe Systems

A waterfront office building that was designed to leverage the look of Fremont’s erstwhile industrial structures houses this software company.
4. Waiting for the Interurban
5. The Rocket

When an Army surplus store closed in Belltown, its outside adornment ended up in the hands of Fremont sculptors and painters who renovated the World War II-era missile and placed it atop this store.
6. Rope Swing

Sunny days attract a crowd of rope swingers who get dunked near where Phinney Ave N meets the Canal.
7. Old Trolley Barn

This large brick warehouse used to house Seattle’s early mass transit vehicles, the trolleys. Since then, the building has been a microbrewery, an event rental facility, and a gourmet chocolate factory.
8. Indoor Sun Shoppe

Huge plants decorate the front, and bright grow lights illuminate the interior of Seattle’s favorite neighborhood home and garden store.
9. Dock Overlook

The fenced-in area with benches and a roof sits right on the water, making it perfect for sunsets and bird- and boat-watching. Distant views include Salmon Bay’s dry-dock industry and the Olympic Mountains beyond to the west.
10. Gravel Plant

Mounds of gravel, asphalt, and conveyor belts make stark contrast with the solemnity and serenity of the water and parkland nearby.
