(fishing, logging and farming). Poulsbo provided a central location on Puget Sound, and to this day, it is known as \u201cLittle Norway.\u201d (The town even hosts an annual&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/vikingfest.org\/\">Vikingfest<\/a>&nbsp;each May.) Sluy\u2019s Bakery, a local institution, bakes regionally famous lefse (Norwegian potato crepes), bread and Nordic baked goods. The free-to-enter Maritime and Heritage Museums provide history and context.
