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.

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.
And of course, our
pancake breakfasts
have gotten so much
attention, they're
practically a PR
campaign unto themselves.
