Ballard's Nordic Museum receives national designation
Ballard’s Nordic Museum received a new designation Thursday. The museum, which pays tribute to the neighborhood’s northern European roots, will now be known as the “National Nordic Museum.”
It’s a designation which brought together foreign leaders, and even two Senators from both sides of the aisle. Senators Maria Cantwell, D-Washington, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, both smiled and hugged as they stood at the celebration of a new name.
“Isn't it wonderful to see a Republican Senator and a Democrat Senator on the same stage?” said Nordic Heritage Museum Board Director Tom Malone.
The title change was part of a massive lands package sponsored by Cantwell and Murkowski, which breezed through Congress and was signed by President Trump.
