Keeping Norwegian culture alive in Ballard since 1903. Everyone's welcome, no Norwegian ancestry required!
Organized on May 13, 1903, Sons of Norway Leif Erikson Lodge 2-001 makes its home in Ballard/Seattle, Washington at Leif Erikson Hall. Sons of Norway is the largest Norwegian-American organization in the world, comprised of members in the United States, Canada, and Norway.

- Norwegian Heritage Youth Camps
- Trollhaugen Recreational Facility at Stampede Pass
- Norway Park on Lake McMurray
The lodge also participates in a wide variety of other social events. Sons of Norway lodge activities encourage expression of Norwegian culture and community concern. And, of course, all Leif Erikson Lodge members have access to general Sons of Norway membership and financial benefits.
