Poulsbo Travel Guide

A quaint port town in Washington, Poulsbo was originally a home for the Suquamish people but was later settled and built up by Scandanavian immigrants. The cultures of both still echo through the town.

Things to Do in Poulsbo

Holding true to its history, part of Poulsbo is known as Little Norway. Here, visitors can find charming buildings, a Scandanavian-looking church, and a 12-foot tall Viking statue. The SEA Discovery Center, an aquarium sponsored by nearby Western Washington University, has an impressive display of marine life for an aquarium in such a small town. Visitors will be excited to know that entry is completely free -- although donations are welcome. Fans of nautical achievements and history will likely eagerly get to the US Naval Undersea Museum, which proudly displays submarine replicas and other mementos of maritime lore.

Best Time to Visit Poulsbo

Its not unlikely for Poulsbo to get light dustings of snow in the winter, and so those who don't mind the cold should visit then as completes the town's Scandanavian vibe.
