Swedish Cultural Center
The Swedish Cultural Center is a meeting spot for Scandinavians in Seattle, Washington. It was founded in 1892, initially as the "Swedish Club".
The club is located at 1920 Dexter Avenue North in a building designed by architects Einar V. Anderson, Arden Croco Steinhart, and Robert Dennis Theriault Sr., and built 1959–1961. Prior to that they were located in a 1902 building on Eight Avenue by contractors Otto Roseleaf, August S. Peterson, and Otto Rudolf Roseleaf.
The club hosts a number of events for members and non-members. Among their public events are a monthly pancake breakfast and a Friday Kafé; their Friday evening "happy hour" is open to "prospective members". They also offer Swedish lessons and show Scandinavian films.
