A Spring Day in Poulsbo


My cousin Marlo sends this photo she shot yesterday of the marina in historic Poulsbo, Washington. Overcast and cold in their neck of the woods, they wait for signs of spring....If you look out over the bay, you will see the woods where the infamous Cullen Family roams.

Trivia: Poulsbo, Washington, with a population of 7,840 is located in the northern part of Kitsap County and is 4.5 square miles in area. Liberty Bay, originally called Dog Fish Bay, and the majestic, snow-peaked Olympic Mountains to the west induced the Scandinavians to settle in Poulsbo because the area was so similar to the fjords of Norway.
