Founded in Seattle
in 1892, the Swedish
Club has grown to
become a center
of Scandinavian
activities in the
Pacific Northwest.
Our members are
not only Swedes
and other Scandinavians,
but people of many
cultural backgrounds.
The Swedish Club is a 501(c)(3) registered charity.

Swedish entrees
and desserts during
Happy Hour. Come

lunch (starting
at 12 noon) or dinner!

Ruud and the crew at

Culinary
Kudos
It seems that every
time the Swedish
Club is mentioned
in local media,
it has something
to do with food
and drink. Not that
we're complaining.
Seattle Metropolitan reviewed our
julbord and
lauded us for offering
the city's
best Swedish happy
hour, and the
Ballard News-Tribune
liked it too. Zagat placed our
smörgås (sandwiches)
among Seattle's top nine. The
Seattle Weekly also
found some nice things to say about our
smörgås,
while the
P-I reported on our
Swedish meatball
cook-off. And
of course, our
pancake breakfasts
have gotten so much
attention, they're
practically a PR
campaign unto themselves.
