What a cool parade. Even the Scandinavian sibling love is included.
That’s awesome! Gratulerer med dagen!
Love this! So fun to see all the little details and so many lovely bunads!
8$ pølser sheeesh
Wow, even the Sami flag!
Smørbrød*
I’m surprised and delighted there’s enough people for a parade 😊
And surprised the hotdogs actually are more expensive than in Norway 😂
And curious if the “pølse i lefse” is actually in lefse or if they mean lompe 🤔
They even have Solo, wouldn’t be the same without.
That was way bigger than I expected! Thanks for sharing.
Even selling “real coke”
Teh fuk is the swedes doin? We celebrate getting independent from those backstabbing dicks!
Dritkult!
Wow, fascinating to see so many with sunnmørsbunad!
I watched the May 17 parade in Seattle in 2000. At the time I was an exchange student in Olympia, WA. It was a good day, the parade was spectacular. I was truly touched how much you had worked to keep the memory of our country and Constitution Day alive.
The “You don’t have to be Swedish to join the Swedish club” got me 😂😂😂
Pølse i lefse??? Og svensker???? Helt amerikanske tilstander der borte
Rekesalat pølse sounds so wrong, but dammit I want to try one. Gratulerer med dagen!
First time ever seeing a Swedish flag on 17th of May
Looks fun!
Happy to see well kept Norwegian traditions.
Edit: Forgot /s.
You had a 17th of may celebration in Seattle too? Neat.
That hot dog looks delicious!
I’m curious, what’s with the Swedish flags? I mean, we’re celebrating our independence after freeing ourselves from Swedish rule
Looks fun except for the swedes. So would I like get my 3 minutes of fame if I went there as a Norwegian citizen?
Why don’t you use correct flags? The blue color is too light, and a lot of the flags, the white stripes are too narrow.
Heilt Texas.
Many norwegians in Seattle?
Is that a pølse in pannekake??
Pull me backwards in to the birdhouse. Solo in the states. What a sight.
I had no idea they celebrated Syttende Mai in Seattle! I don’t live far from there and now I’m really sad I missed it. Thanks for the pictures though!
I’ve never heard of pølse i lefse (the quintessential hot dog wrapping is lompe), and “smørrebrød” is Danish (should be “smørbrød”), but otherwise this seems pretty nice!
I’ve never been to Washington state, but from what I know about it (Twin Peaks and various other media) it seems pretty Norwegian-esque. Definitely feels like one of the US states I’d feel most at home in.
Nicer weather than in Bergen yesterday 🙂
💀
Seattle has the biggest Syttende Mai celebration and parade outside Norway. As often, blessed with wonderful weather for his year again.
Always a fun event, and there are many local organizations represented, making it ‘more’ than just Norway, but it will forever be the Norwegian traditions that anchors this event.
‘Ja vi elsker…’ 😍
Did not expect to see Sapmi gaeptie in seattle!
Very cool🇧🇻😃
Skal! 🇳🇴
This is super charming, greetings too all of yall from Norway.
Love to see it! Go Kraken!
If it all wasn’t so wholesome, I would have thought “Sons of Norway” was a neo-nazi organisation. That font as well
Even a samekofte. Thats pretty advanced
How big is the Scandinavia community in the USA?
Grattis broder, för övrigt!!!
You got the danish flag at half mast. How appropriate 💕
These are wonderful! My grandparents came to US from
Norway, I need to make it to Seattle for next year’s celebration!!!
