There is another paid lot on the south end on 6th. There is limited parking in the same building. The lobby is spacious. Security is helpful. Monitors are available showing bus schedules. There is a Starbucks in the lobby. There are 2 banks of elevators. One bank to take to you the 16th floor and lower. The Second to take you to floors higher than 16th. When going to a floor higher than 40th, you'd need to transfer to a second set of elevators on the 40th. There are 3 eateries: a Vietnamese restaurant Core Bistro and 2 others outside the building: a Mexican restaurant Bebas And Amigos and a salad/sandwich store Chew Chews Eatery. You'd need to go upstairs from the lobby level. The Mexican restaurant and salad bar is outside the building. There are 2 other floors below the lobby. You'll see some great artwork here, a gift store and escalators to join up to the Columbia Tower. To get to Columbia tower, turn right at the bottom of the escalator to take a second set of escalators. At the bottom, go through the glass doors at the bottom of the escalator and turn left. If you turn right, it takes you through a tunnel. Follow this to another set of escalators to take you up to the Bank of America tower across the street. Pretty handy if you really want to stay warm! Amazon Locker is also located on the bottom level.

And Judge Shadid was the star of it all. He took us back to discuss the ceremony before hand, like asking what type of vows and about us as a couple. Then he took us up and performed the ceremony on the rooftop in front of a beautiful view. His words were so nice and he genuinely seemed like he enjoys marrying people. He was the best and we won't forget how special he made our experience.

Lo, and behold, they were hosting a vintage car show with dozens of classic cars lined up and down Main St and many side streets. People from all over were walking around admiring the cars, talking to the proud owners, sometimes posing for pictures with them. Meanwhile food trucks were out in force to create a festival atmosphere with smash burgers, hot dogs, kettle corn and cotton candy. Those yummy aromas filled the air as we walked two miles going up and down every byway. So fun! We also ventured as far as the Edmonds Underwater Park at the edge of the sound where families were picnicking and children were building sand castles. All around an idyllic Sunday.

The city's nickname is 'Little Norway' and is adorned with Norwegian and Viking charm. The downtown area is right on the bay and you can park and walk around the small block. There's a free marine life discovery center and a lot of charming shops to visit. I also had the privilege to ride in a cruiser boat out on the bay during sunset to soak in the beauty of this area.

I would say, however, that at peak tourist season in August parking can be tight. There are numerous eating options. There are art galleries, artisan souvenir shops, a bakery, chocolatier, a book store, and several apparel stores. Of course there are bars and wineries. The big surprise is that this is a "Norwegian" town with flags up and down the main streets. Who knew? As you turn into the town there is a large viking statue that says "welcome" in Norwegian. There are lots of Norwegian-themed stores and restaurants. Since I've been to Norway four times, I have watched a lot Viking shows on the History channel. I have never seen any description of Vikings in the Pacific Northwest. No one in town seems to know how or why the Vikings arrived. So that a mystery to me. Overall, Poulsbo is both livable and an attractive place to spend a day as a tourist. People are friendly and happy. I understand why.
