WHEREAS, The Danish Immigrant Museum works cooperatively with the Danish American Archive and Library at Dana College, the Danish Immigrant Archives at Grand View University, and the Danish American Heritage Society to better preserve the Danish Immigrant experience; and
WHEREAS, Several cities in the state of Washington, notably Seattle, Bellingham, and Enumclaw have long maintained their strong Danish traditions, and preserved the proud legacy of those Danish people who first came to the Pacific Northwest over 150 years ago and whose profound impact on the development of our economy and progress of our social values continues today;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Washington State Senate does hereby acknowledge and honor the Danish Immigrant Museum; and
