The Norwegians who immigrated to Seattle were a sturdy stock. Perhaps it was due to their ancient history as determined Viking seafarers--or their more recent experiences as tenacious fishermen, farmers, loggers, and carpenters. From the first Norwegians to arrive in 1868 through today, Seattle's Norwegian American community has maintained a remarkable cohesiveness. They participate in Sons and Daughters of Norway and other clubs; enjoy lutefisk dinners, lively music and dance groups, and the annual May 17 parade; boast elaborately knitted sweaters and historic costumes; and labor over language classes and genealogy. The result is a pride of heritage unique to the Norwegian Americans in Seattle and a sinew that binds their community.

Located in northern Europe, Norway is home to majestic fjords, mountains, and lakes. Once part of various unions with Denmark and Sweden, Norway gained its independence in 1905. Since then, the country has developed into an economic and cultural hub and now enjoys one of the highest standards of living in the world. From the adventures of the fearless Vikings to the groundbreaking discoveries of famous Norwegian explorers, from the plays of Henrik Ibsen to the artistry of Gustav Vigeland, and from the ancient traditions of the Sami to the modern Norwegian monarchy, this book introduces a country that embraces its age-old traditions as it ushers in the new millennium.
