Congratulations Norway!
Congratulations to Norway for defending the prestigious winning title in this year's Putt-Putt Golf Tournament. Team Sweden showed up with a solid team of players but it was not enough to beat the strong Norwegians. Thank you to everyone that came out and played and thank you NACC-Seattle for hosting a great event! We are looking forward to a rematch next year.
The new Nordic Museum is open!
What a spectacular time we had last week, celebrating the Grand Opening of the new Nordic Museum here in Seattle! Highlights included the highly anticipated Nordic Innovation Days, including a well-attended Innovation Conference on May 3rd and an exclusive Tech Tour on May 4th, which paid visits to local tech giants such as Amazon and Microsoft. We were also very happy to be present for the ribbon cutting ceremony on May 5th, attended by H.R.H. Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, President Guðni Th. Jóhannesson of Iceland, and H.E. Karin Olofsdotter, Ambassador of Sweden to the United States. Big congrats to our long-standing members and friends at the Nordic Museum!
