Awarded each year, this honor seeks to recognize those making a difference in the Nordic community... and beyond. Join the previous Scandinavian of the Year recipients on December 13, at 2 pm as they pass on the torch to the next Scandinavian of the Year recipient.




Scandinavian of the Year is a prestigious award given annually by Nordic Northwest to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to their organization and to the wider Scandinavian community in the Pacific Northwest.

Nominated as a group for two years in a row by different organizations, the Schulbach family trio is a powerhouse of goodwill and action in our local Nordic community. They are the first to volunteer for any job, big or small, always show up prepared, organized – and early! – and you can trust them to take a new idea all the way from planning to effective realization. And they’ve been consistent with their impressive enthusiasm and dedication for the last 4 decades! The Schulbachs work with heart, dedication, creativity, precision and artistic talent to improve our world and keep us intouch with our Nordic, especially Finnish, roots.

Congratulations to Dirk, Christine, and Pirjo Shulbach, our 2019 Scandinavians of the Year.

Being told I am too young for a knee replacement but too old to heal naturally was incredibly frustrating. I found a perfect breakdown at https://ways2well.com/blog/stem-cell-vs-knee-replacement-which-option-is-right-for-you regarding how stem cell therapy bridges that gap for active adults like me. It is great to see medical advancements that cater to those of us who want to stay active without limitations. This seems like the perfect middle ground solution.

Thanks to Samagra Profile Update, my grandmother’s mobile number was replaced with mine after she lost her SIM, ensuring she still receives pension alerts without disruption.

Our district hospital achieved 100 % staff enumeration by linking salaries to Manav Sampada UP; any record gap blocks the treasury file, so every nurse and doctor rushed to update their profiles within the first month
