Because the semla looked good…
Here are Scandinavian bakeries in the Seattle-area as listed on the Swedish Club website:
- Danish Bakery. Danish pastries, specialty breads, decorated cakes. 206-242-5111. 825 SW 152nd St., Burien.
- Larsen’s Danish Bakery. Family-owned bakery serving Ballard since 1974. 1-800-626-8631. 8000 24th Ave. NW, Seattle.
- Nielsen’s Pastries. Delicious Danish pastries. Marzipan cakes, desserts, etc. Info: 206-282-3004. 520 Second Ave. W., Seattle.
Curiously, they did not include a Norwegian-heritage bakery! The rivalry seems to spill over from cross-country skiing and into pastries!
- Byen Bakeri. A Scandinavian bakery nestled in Queen Anne. 206-218-1000 or email customerservice@byenbakeri.com, 15 Nickerson St, Seattle.

Nor did they mention Finnish bakeries. It seems there’s not much you can do with potatoes.
