Poulsbo

Poulsbo

Little Norway of the Pacific Northwest

In the 1880s, Norwegian immigrant Jorgen Eliason arrived here, in the area now known as the Kitsap Peninsula.

In 1886, I. B. Moe, another Norwegian immigrant, named this community Paulsbo, meaning Paul's Place. Unfortunately, the name was misspelt and today it is known as Poulsbo!

It was a rainy day when we visited. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed exploring the quaint shops and boutiques, dined in some restaurants and just spent a day here.

Free public parking, much to my happiness.
