At 6 p.m. on Tuesday, July 26, the Nordic Heritage Museum will hold a vigil for the victims of last week's tragedy in Norway.
Honorary Consul of Norway, Kim Nesselquist, will present to stand in a moment of silence and offer prayers.
On Friday, July 22, Norway was the site of twin terror attacks - a bombing in Oslo and a shooting attack at a youth camp, collectively killing at least 76 people.
“Our thoughts are with our neighbors in Ballard and across Seattle who have family and friends in Norway," said Mayor Mike McGinn is a statement on Facebook. "It is hard to make sense out of violence like this, particularly when it is directed at children. We join our neighbors in Ballard, across Seattle and throughout the world in grieving this terrible loss.”
Join members of the Norwegian community on Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. at the Nordic Heritage Museum for a moment of silence. The museum is located at 3014 NW 67th Street.
