Savoring Life in Poulsbo


Until World War II, many Poulsbo residents retained Norwegian as a primary language. However, during World War II, the military constructed about 300 residential units to provide housing for workers at the nearby Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, located in Bremerton, Washington. The population of Poulsbo almost tripled over three years, and the diversification of the population led to the dominance of English as the primary language.
On October 22, 1975, King Olav V of Norway visited Poulsbo as part of the celebration of 150 years of Norwegian settlement in the United States.

Blessing:
Life is short and we do not have too much time to gladden the hearts of those who travel the way with us. So be swift to love and make haste to be kind; and may The Divine Mystery, Who is beyond our ability to know, but, Who made us, Who loves us and Who travels the way with us, Bless and Keep you in Peace. Amen.
