If you need anything Nordic in Seattle—housewares, gifts, apparel, books, souvenirs, foodstuffs or something off the wall—Bjorn Ruud and the crew at Scandinavian Specialties either have it already or can get it for you. The Swedish Club supports this local business and you should too. Check it out! Are You Needin' News from Sweden? Umgås is the online news destination for Swedish-Americans. Hit Radio Sweden any time you want to catch up on events between the border and the Baltic. And if you're missing your Swedish TV, it's online at SVT Play. 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. |
