Known as "Little Norway," Poulsbo was settled in 1892 by Norwegian loggers, farmers and fishermen who likened the fjord-cut landscape to their homeland. Poulsbo's historic downtown shops offer everything from Scandinavian gifts to fine art, fashions, antiques and much more. Poulsbo boasts several fine restaurants (http://www.poulsbo.org/news/latest/poulsbo-restaurant-reviews.html), and mouthwatering Norwegian-inspired treats including handmade European chocolates, baked goods, fresh waffle cones, delicious smoked salmon and gourmet coffee. If the great outdoors is your passion, rent a kayak and paddle scenic Liberty Bay, take a walking tour of the town, or simply relax along the boardwalk and look for seals, herons and eagles. Kitsap County is becoming a destination -- both as a permanent home for retirees and as a bedroom community to Seattle and the greater Puget Sound, and as a weekend getaway for people from the Seattle/Tacoma area who are looking for a quiet, charming place to spend a romantic weekend. text/html 2007-10-11T10:32:35+01:00 http://www.poulsbo.org http://www.poulsbo.org/news/latest/poulsbo-map.html View Larger Map (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8 hl=en om=1 msa=0 msid=102907154471834074418.00043c3ae3cbb2323dd85 ll=47.738631,-122.649994 spn=0.024243,0.049782 z=14 source=embed)
