Swedish Club

Mission

The Swedish Club is the home of the Nordic community in the Northwest. It's a nonprofit community organization formed to promote Swedish and Nordic culture including food, celebrations,
traditions, language and music.

Description

Founded in Seattle in 1892, the Swedish Club has grown to become a prominent presence in the Pacific Northwest community. Membership consists not only of Nordics, but people of many cultural backgrounds. Completed in 1961, the midcentury modern building, which the City of Seattle named an historic landmark, overlooks beautiful Lake Union and downtown Seattle, and is ideally located a few minutes north of downtown Seattle. It serves its members as well as visitors and guests from other parts of the United States and Scandinavia. Among our several prominent visitors over the years has been the Swedish King, Carl XVI Gustaf and Crown Princess Victoria. The Club hosts a variety of educational and cultural events and celebrates traditional Swedish and Nordic holidays.
