For those from away, Poulsbo is a cute little town set in Liberty Bay on Kitsap Peninsula of Puget Sound. Known as "Little Norway," it's kind of kitschy and kind of cute, with bakeries and other shops, Norwegian architecture, and views of the harbor. There's even a Viking ship folks go out on, and the ship master will meet us on the dock to answer questions. Check it out:
 
 
We'll meet up at the Edmonds ferry dock (Top Pot doughnuts, anyone?) to catch the 10:20am ferry. After the half hour crossing, it's another half hour drive to Poulsbo. (The return ferries sail hourly.)
 

I'm attaching a carpool spreadsheet for those who are driving and  offering rides, and for those who need a ride.

Please note: The Viking ship is for sketching only; there are no sailings the day we are in Poulsbo.
