My what a spring we’ve had—busy and successful! We have the hard work and dedication of many volunteers to thank for some major achievements in the spring. Our Northern Lights Auktion was a fantastic success, raising $265,000 (before expenses). The Nordic American Voices “Voices of Ballard and Beyond” received an
award from AKCHO award for which it was nominated, and the NAV project itself received an award from the Washington Museum Association. And our Nordic Heritage Teen Council grew from 6 in the winter, to 9 in the spring, and kept us busy and entertained. Finally, thanks to all who helped in any capacity in our daily activities and regular schedule of events. Viking Days is the major event on the horizon. It will take place on August 17 and 18, feature a pancake breakfast, salmon BBQ, beer garden, vendors, Vikings, kids crafts—the usual, but with a few

exciting changes as well. We’ll need all the help we can get, so please sign up to help and invite your friends and family, too! Let’s make it a great one! This edition of the Viking Bugle has a distinct food theme, from food blog articles, to krumkake recipes. The Teen Council focused on food and heritage this spring, so it seemed like an appropriate and fun focus for the Bugle as well. I hope you’ll visit Jill’s blog, try your hand at Louise’s krumkake, and enjoy the rest. Have a great summer, and we’ll see you at Viking Days! ~Michael

Museum News New Staff Members Facilities and Rental Coordinator, Dylan High Dylan is a recent graduate of the University of Washington’s Museology Graduate Program. Growing up near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he explored his own roots by working with several local heritage organizations such as the Mennonite Heritage Center and the Goschenhoppen Historians. Dylan loves the community focus and strong roots of the Nordic Heritage Museum and the Ballard community. He hopes to help the museum share the rich history and spirit of community of these Nordic peoples with Seattle’s diverse, ever-changing community.
Brandon McCann, Custodian Brandon joined the Museum in May as part time custodian of the building. Originally from the Midwest, Brandon has lived in Seattle off and on for the past several years. We are delighted to have Brandon on board! Please make him feel welcome.
Development Director, Jan Colbrese Jan Woldseth Colbrese joined the Nordic Heritage Museum this past May as Development Director. A graduate of Seattle Pacific, she started her professional life as a high school English teacher with a stint at Ballard High School. Coming to the Museum after almost 9 years of experience in development with United Way of King County, Jan brings experience in both Major Gifts and Corporate partnerships. Born and raised near Pacific Lutheran University, Jan’s grandfather emigrated from Stavanger, Norway. A past president of the Issaquah School Board, she is the mother of three grown sons and wife to Mike Colbrese, the Executive Director of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association. Jan’s office is located on the third floor in the Development office.
Reflection: Museum Work This edition of the Viking Bugle includes major contributions by guest Editor, and recent graduate of King’s High School, Kristina Mannes. I asked Kristina to provide a short reflection of the time she spent job shadowing my position. Thanks Kristina!
Facilities Coordinator Mike Olson left the Museum in May to pursue a career in commercial carpentry. His duties have been distributed between Dylan and Brandon, with Dylan focusing on maintenance and rentals, and Brandon focusing on custodial services. We wish Mike the best!
through my own volunteer work, I figured it was worth a try to attempt to pursue a job shadow opportunity at the museum. To my luck I was allowed to spend the last four days job shadowing Michael Ide in the Operations Department at NHM. Museum work initially grabbed my attention, as someone planning to study history, because of the strong focus it has As a high school student confronted on preserving the past and sharing with the obstacle of tackling a job a culture and heritage. I really shadow experience while also enjoyed seeing past that to the working on the important task of operation of the museum, and to graduating and getting things in the people working hard to make order for attending university, I the sharing of Nordic culture was stressed, to say the least, possible. Through this opportunity I about my last few weeks of school. was able to educate myself on Remembering my ties with the many different and important roles museum through my family and
at the museum; I was able to observe and learn from volunteers in the gift shop, information desk, admissions desk, and from docents, staff and volunteers. Getting a look at what goes on behind the scenes of the museum, the meetings and planning, the Bugle, the recruitment of volunteers, and a number of other projects, provided me with a more than adequate view of what the work at the Nordic Heritage Museum is like. I am thankful for the time I was able to spend at the museum and learn from the many talented and dedicated people working and volunteering there. ~Kristina Mannes

Jiill’s Blog: Kimchi and Meatballs An Email Interview with Jill Wasberg, by Kristina Mannes
Jill Wasberg has been a volunteer at the Nordic Heritage Museum since October 2012. This May Jill expanded on another passion of hers by creating a food blog entitled “Kimchi and Meatballs”.
What was your inspiration for creating a food blog? Why 'Kimchi and Meatballs'? The inspiration for Kimchi and Meatballs comes from a family melding of cultures, foods and ingredients that took place when I was growing up. My mom is from Seoul, South Korea. On my dad’s side of the family, my grandpa was a Finn Swede and my grandma was born and raised in a town called South Bend, a small town in Willapa Bay where several Norwegian and Swedish families historically settled to work in the logging and fishing industries. I’m fourth generation from South Bend. I don’t know how many Korean Swedes raised in small seafood industry towns there are out there, so the audience for my blog might be few and far between! Several of the blog posts about food combine some ideas and ingredients of the different
places in the world that came together at our dinner table – Korea, Sweden and Willapa Bay. My food staples definitely leaned heavily toward Korean dishes, but all of our family gatherings from birthdays to the Fourth of July to Christmas had elements of Scandinavian flavors and forms. I often brought home leftovers from my grandparents’ after whatever family gathering was taking place and threw them in a bowl with rice and kimchi with a soft boiled egg and mixed it all up to scoop up in squares of sesame roasted seaweed. The memory of this habit is where the title of the blog came from. My friend and I were driving back from Portland after a disheartening food truck experience with some bland kimchi. I vowed to start making my own based on how my mom made it— I’d had it with bad kimchi! This got us talking about what type of niche it would take to start a food truck, and I recalled, “You know what goes really well with kimchi is Swedish meatballs.” And she said, “Well, that’s certainly a niche.” But a food truck sounded really time consuming and complicated. And expensive. So I started a blog instead.

What volunteer work have you done at the museum and has your experience at the museum taught you anything or inspired you in any way in your cooking? I’ve lived in Seattle for almost 20 years and just visited the Museum for the first time in October, 2012. I don’t know how it came to be that I hadn’t been in before. As soon as I walked in, I told my friend, “This place feels like my grandparents’ house. It even smells like my grandparents’ house!” She had to drag me out of there that day. I would have stayed the night and slept in the section about the logging camp display if I could have. I came home and immediately contacted the Volunteer Coordinator and told her I’d do anything as a volunteer; yard work if they needed it! I helped out at Yulefest in 2012 (a delight!) and then I started volunteering in the gift shop on a regular basis – and this definitely inspired my cooking from that point forward. As I’m interested in food, I immediately pounced on the cookbooks and pored through them. I first went for the contemporary cookbooks, the large coffee table ones with beautiful, glossy photos of open -faced sandwiches set out for picnics under birch trees and venison stews before large hearths with glowing fires. Then I found a connection with the more traditional ones, the spiral -bound paperback editions I’d seen in kitchens and gift shops in my hometown produced by the American Daughters of Sweden or the American Swedish Institute. I remembered

some of the standard ingredients, flavors and recipes, not even really realizing until now they were associated with Sweden, Finland or Norway. I even found one that was based on recipes from Naselle, Washington, in the Willapa Hills, south of my hometown. After a while, I started bringing a journal with me to record recipes. I had already tried my hand at Korean cooking, so this was the other half of the equation. My volunteer time at the museum really was the starting point in my interest in finding ways to blend the flavors and foods of my heritage that is now a really fun
Volunteer News creative outlet. What does your heritage mean to you? My heritage is a way of life that has been passed on to me by people who loved and raised me and made me what I am today. I was very, very close to my grandparents. They lived two miles from me the first 18 years of my life and were supportive and very involved in my daily life. And I’m close to my mom. I know it wasn’t easy for her to leave her country on her own at 26 years old to move to a small town that didn’t yet know anything about Korean culture, until she showed them. Out of respect for their love of me and the aspects of the “old country” that shaped

The Teen Council wrapped up a successful spring session at the beginning of June. We had several returning students and a handful of new ones. Throughout the 10-week session, the council members considered the idea of food and heritage. Students brought in favorite family recipes to contribute to a Teen Council cook book; prepared food-themed tours of our permanent exhibit; learned to make krumkake with an expert teacher, Louise Torseth; had a behind-the-scenes tour of Scandinavian Specialties, and ended with a celebratory cookoff for friends and family, where they made smoked salmon sandwiches, Finnish potato casserole, Swedish cucumber salad and Norwegian meatballs, with krumkake for dessert. It was a delicious success! A special thanks to Dylan, all our teen council members and their families, and everyone who came out to support the program this year!
them, it means a lot to me to be able to keep their heritage and memory alive. For me, the medium for doing so is food.

Volunteer News Volunteer Treats Little would get done at the Museum without the help of volunteers. In addition to the daily tasks they perform, we also appreciate the many treats that they bring to keep everyone fat and happy. (It’s worth it!) Here is a rough schedule of our week in treats.
Occasionaly on Mondays, the scent of Dorothy’s freshly baked scones lifts our spirits.
On Tuesday Chris fills the candy jar, and gets us through the day.
Wednesday is Dagmar Cake Day, and we can hardly function without it!

She lived a full and happy and inspirational life. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, wife and sister, and a beloved member of the Museum’s volunteer corps. She is dearly missed and fondly remembered.

Each year we recognize handful of people who have made noteworthy contributions to the Museum in several major areas: Visitor Services, Special Events, Collections, Education, and Facilities. It’s never an easy decision, but these volunteers have earned our praise and gratitude for their incredible dedication to the Museum and community. Thank you, for all that you do!
This Spring, the Museum received two awards associated with the NAV project and the publication of Voices of Ballard and Beyond: an award for ”exemplary historical publication” awarded by Association of King County Historical Organizations, and a Project of Excellence Award, granted by the Washington Museum Association.
