Did You Know You Can Get Away to Snoqualmie Pass for Just $45 a Night?

Yes, you read that right! One of the great perks of being a Sons of Norway member is having access to Trollhaugen Lodge at Snoqualmie Pass.

We had the pleasure of visiting Trollhaugen for the second time this past July. Our first visit was during the winter for their annual cross-country ski race. This time, five couples from our lodge headed up for the District 2 Steak Fry on July 18, and several of us made a night of it and stayed over.

If you’re not familiar with Trollhaugen, it was built in 1972 and is owned and operated by District 2, which our lodge is part of. It sleeps more than 50 people and has a large living room, two fireplaces, a ping-pong table, ski rentals, a hot tub, horseshoes and more. There are nearby spots for fishing, and the lodge sits next to a great trail system for hiking, biking and, of course, skiing.

There’s also some fascinating history behind Trollhaugen and its founding members. You can learn more about the lodge, its history and how to book a stay at www.trollhaugensofn.com.

Having Trollhaugen available to us is such a wonderful benefit of membership. The lodge is cared for by a dedicated group of volunteers who work hard to keep everything maintained and running smoothly—and what do they ask in return? That we use it! Not a bad deal.

So, the next time you’re looking for a fun, easy and budget-friendly mountain getaway, consider booking a stay at Trollhaugen. At just $45 a night, it might be one of the best-kept secrets of your Sons of Norway membership!

Tusen Takk!

September: Saying Goodbye to Christina Webster

                        Celebrating and Saying Goodbye to Christina Webster It is with both gratitude and sadness that we say goodbye to our wonderful Office Manager, Christina Webster , as she begins an exciting new chapter in her career. For the past six years, Christina has been the heart of our Sons of Norway Lodge, serving with professionalism and an unwavering commitment to our members and community. While we are thrilled for her as she takes on her new role as Nursing Scheduling Manager at Martha & Mary , we know her departure will leave a tremendous void. During her time with us, Christina's contributions have gone far beyond the responsibilities of managing the Lodge office. She worked alongside Cheryl Hall and Carly Wolfe to revitalize our venue rental marketing efforts, significantly increasing both the visibility of the Lodge and the number of rentals. Her creativity, energy, and willingness to emb...

Today, we celebrate Koleen and the incredible nine years she has given to the Sons of Norway family. Koleen, it is difficult to put into words just how much you have meant to our lodge over the years. As our Bar Manager, you became a familiar face, and a presence, who helped make our lodge feel like home. Through busy evenings, special events, celebrations, and everyday gatherings, your work and dedication was felt by everyone who walked through our doors.  The friendships you have built over these nine years and the connections you formed have enriched our lodge and strengthened the sense of community that lies at the heart of the Sons of Norway.
