Translated from 'Nordmændene i Amerika' by Martin Ulvestad. 1907. Yakima County In 1895, a Norwegian settlement was established in the vicinity of Prosser. The first there was Martin H. Strandvold from Trysil, Østredalen. Next after him came M. M. Strandvold, Olaf Strandvold and Harald Strandvold as well as Ole Grambo and Henry Hansen. as far as is known all the here mentioned are from Trysil. Mixed farming is the settlement's main source of income. In Yakima County there is a post office with the name Wenas but whether that is Wenaas in Norway it gets its name from is not known. As one sees, most Norwegian settlements in Washington are still small but they are growing quickly.
