Seattle’s Nordic Heritage Museum
The Nordic Heritage Museum in
Seattle Washington is located at
3014 N.W. 67th Street in an area
known as Ballard. Ballard was a small
town where most of the Scandinavians
including the Icelanders settled in the old
days. It was incorporated into Seattle about
1909. Many Icelanders still live in this area.
The Nordic Museum tells the story of
the migrations of the Scandinavians to the
New World and to the Pacific North-West
in particular. The museum is in a converted
three-storey brick school building. The
school was the old Webster Grade School
where many of the older Icelanders and
others spent their younger years.
The museum has a reputation as a
national cultural center and attracts about
65,000 people a year. The top floor holds
five ethnic rooms — Iceland, Norway,
Sweden, Finland and Denmark. The
Icelandic Room is sponsored by the
Icelandic Club of Greater Seattle. We are
very proud of our room and have done
some very innovative things including
publishing a brochure.
The brochure, offered to visitors to
the Icelandic Room, was printed by John
and Inga Johnson who for many years
owned and operated Fortune Productions
in Ballard. □
