Known as "Little Norway," Poulsbo was settled in 1892 by Norwegian loggers, farmers and fishermen who likened the fjord-cut landscape to their homeland. More history . . .
Today you can stroll down Front Street with its dozens of quaint and colorful shops offering everything from Scandinavian gifts to fine art, fashions, antiques and much more.

If shopping makes you a bit hungry, feast on handmade European chocolates, baked goods, fresh waffle cones, delicious smoked salmon or gourmet coffee in one of Poulsbo's fine restaurants and cafes.
If the great outdoors is your passion, rent a kayak or electric boat and explore scenic Liberty Bay. A little less adventurous? Take a walking tour of the town, or simply relax along the boardwalk and look for seals, herons and eagles.
And if that's not reason enough, how about dozens of festivals and celebrations the town hosts each year, from Viking Fest in May to the Yule Fest and Christmas Boat Parade in December.
The Port of Poulsbo guest marina is open 365 days a year and has 130 visitor slips -- 60 are reservable (for groups of 15 boats
or more). Easy access to shops and restaurants makes this a poplular boating destination.
