VASA Park Resort
About 100 years ago, a group of Swedish immigrants in Seattle looked for a farm to buy in order to build a retirement home and have a place where they could learn English and get together with fellow countrymen. They found a 36-acre tract on the western side of Lake Sammamish east of the city. Eight lodges of the Vasa Order banded together and purchased the land in 1926; within a year, it became Vasa Park, today one of the oldest private parks in the Seattle area.
The Swedish community took great pride in the park. The larger ballroom on the east side of the park was erected in 1929. In an alcove, there is a reminder of the homeland, a ceiling painting with rosemaling, featuring cherubs and garlands.
Today, Vasa Park Resort is an ideal setting for the public to enjoy birthday parties, picnics, and family reunions.
