Talk:Poulsbo, Washington

Untitled

I have removed the mention of Walmart in the history section as this is viewed as more of an advertisement rather than as legitimate history

The immigrants name might possible be spelled "Jørgen Eliason" or "Jörgen Eliason".--ZorroIII 20:49, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

       -I've looked it up, and it appears to be correct. I'll look in to it more perhaps later.

"Food" section

It seems that the food section is biased. Perhaps this could be changed by replacing words such as "wonderful" with words like "popular" or other words that do not give personal "ratings" to the restaurants.

The food section, as currently listed, is nothing but on-line advertisements for those that are listed. It should be noted that these inclusions violate WP:NOT#DIR and WP:NOT#TRAVEL.

I fully support purging the paragraph, on the grounds or lack of WP:RS, as well as the WP:NOT reasons listed already. The article already has a link to the poulsbochamber.com website which contains a link to restaurants in that area, that link is more than sufficient. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 17:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Jorgen

• • There are absolutely nooone called Jorgen who live in Norway. It is "Jørgen", though it might have changed when he moved to USA.

Obviously, but as you probably know, English-speaking people obviously have trouble with the letter "ø", so the name ends up pronounced and written like that. Since Wikipedia is free for you to edit, you could change the name if you feel like it. 85.19.140.9 (talk) 11:26, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

"Food" : Subway

Subway's restaurant locator [1] does indeed show four Subways in Poulsbo. However, four hardly qualifies Poulsbo for 'the most Subways in any city on the west coast'; the same locator shows more than 30 restaurants in Seattle, and 10 in Bellevue, for example. Perhaps the proper claim is to the most Subways per capita, but until someone comes along to make a more defensible claim I'm removing that line from the section.

Can any olne enlighten me on the history of this building please? I contacted the sons of Norway about this and they offered that it had been a fredrickson grocery store at one time. I am just curious on the history. thank you

David Bazan Poulsbo Native?

I show "David Bazan (born January 1976) is an indie rock singer-songwriter from Seattle, Washington." not Poulsbo. Other notable artists who actually grew up in Poulsbo include Gregory Hillman and Kevin Blackwood. Both of these artists still visit and play in Poulsbo as well as tour nationally. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.134.41.114 (talk) 17:18, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
