Description
Fresh snow was still on the trees and houses of Poulsbo, Washington. The view is looking west from Rabb Park over residential area towards Liberty Bay and the Olympic Mountains.
“Poulsbo, the little fishing town on Liberty Bay in North Kitsap County, due west of Seattle, got its nickname "Little Norway" from the many Norwegian Americans who settled there starting in the 1880s. Beginning with the first white settlers on the bay, Ole Stubb (1821-1916) and his family, and continuing until the 1940s, Poulsbo has been filled to the brim with Norwegian immigrants and their descendants. At the same time, the immigrants followed a very American pattern in their settlement of the western reaches of the continent as a means to owning their own land, their building of a town from the ground up, and their town's eventual transformation during World War II into a suburban community, with many residents working for the federal government at nearby military bases or in nearby cities.”
