About Leif Erikson
Leif Erikson was a Norse explorer from Iceland, believed to have been born around 970 CE. He is widely credited as one of the first Europeans to set foot in North America—nearly 500 years before Christopher Columbus.
According to the Icelandic sagas, Leif explored a region he called Vinland, generally believed to have been somewhere along the coast of present-day Canada. The son of Erik the Red, Leif has become a lasting symbol of exploration, curiosity, and seafaring adventure.
Here in Seattle, his legacy is especially fitting. A statue of Leif Erikson stands at Shilshole Bay, reflecting the city’s deep maritime identity and Scandinavian heritage. Monuments honoring him can also be found in places including Boston and Reykjavík.
So come raise a glass to the legendary explorer, put on your finest Viking Disco gear, and celebrate the only way that makes sense:
Members and their guests are invited to unwind on Fridays in the 3 Crowns Lounge with handcrafted cocktails, great company, and breathtaking views. Not a member yet? Join the Swedish Club and become part of our vibrant community!
