I have removed the mention of Walmart in the history section as this is viewed as more of an advertisement rather than as legitimate history

The immigrants name might possible be spelled "Jørgen Eliason" or "Jörgen Eliason".--ZorroIII 20:49, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

       -I've looked it up, and it appears to be correct. I'll look in to it more perhaps later.

Contents 1 "Food" section 2 Jorgen 3 "Food" : Subway 4 founded

[edit] "Food" section

It seems that the food section is biased. Perhaps this could be changed by replacing words such as "wonderful" with words like "popular" or other words that do not give personal "ratings" to the restaurants.

The food section, as currently listed, is nothing but on-line advertisements for those that are listed. It should be noted that these inclusions violate WP:NOT#DIR and WP:NOT#TRAVEL.

I fully support purging the paragraph, on the grounds or lack of WP:RS, as well as the WP:NOT reasons listed already. The article already has a link to the poulsbochamber.com website which contains a link to restaurants in that area, that link is more than sufficient. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 17:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jorgen

• • There are absolutely nooone called Jorgen who live in Norway. It is "Jørgen", though it might have changed when he moved to USA.

[edit] "Food" : Subway

Subway's restaurant locator [1] does indeed show four Subways in Poulsbo. However, four hardly qualifies Poulsbo for 'the most Subways in any city on the west coast'; the same locator shows more than 30 restaurants in Seattle, and 10 in Bellevue, for example. Perhaps the proper claim is to the most Subways per capita, but until someone comes along to make a more defensible claim I'm removing that line from the section.

[edit] founded

how exactly was it founded by a norwegian when native americans had been living there for thousands of years? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.134.113 (talk) 05:53, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
