On Oct. 9, 1825, the ship Restauration arrived in the United States, carrying the first 53 Norwegians to emigrate to this country. To mark the 200th anniversary of that trip, we’re adding a new plaque with the names of 53 Nordic immigrants to Seattle’s Leif Erikson Plaza at Shilshole.

The new plaque will commemorate first-generation immigrants to North America from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Thank you for your submissions. We’ll post details when the plaque is ready to install.

This project is complete and we are not accepting further name submissions at this time.
