They call this secret town 'Little Norway' and it's not far from Seattle. It would make a wonderful day trip if you live in Seattle.

For those of us who live in Tri-Cities, this would be a fun weekend getaway as it takes a bit longer for the drive from Eastern WA.

Nonetheless, the City of Poulsbo WA has so many fun things to see.

Award Winning Food, a world-famous bakery, easy hikes, an Alpaca farm and the cutest cafes.

Poulsbo is a city on Liberty Bay in Kitsap County, Washington, United States. It is the smallest of the four cities in Kitsap County. The population was 11,970 at the 2020 census and an estimated 10,927 in 2018. The Suquamish people have inhabited the surrounding area, called č̓uʔč̓uɬac in Lushootseed, for millennia.

Modern-day downtown Poulsbo maintains a Scandinavian theme to honor its early immigrant history and is a popular regional tourist destination.

One of its local products, Poulsbo Bread, is made locally at Sluys Bakery and used to be sold internationally.

I love exploring small quaint towns with a low population. I enjoy going to a local cafe or pub and talking with the locals to learn about the town from their perspective.

It seems that those small towns are primarily filled with natives who have been there for generations. It's always fun to hear the stories from locals.

When was the last time you took a drive and stopped in a small little town to explore? There are so many worth discovering.

Next time you are on the West Side of Washington and you have a little time on your hands, head to Poulsbo and enjoy!

I found a post on Instagram from george.pnw who made a free 'Ultimate Guide' to Poulsbo.
