Above the door of the post office in Poulsbo, Washington is the image of Pillar Guri. Pouslbo is a community based on a Scandinavian culture. Pillare Guri is a legendary Scandinavian woman.
Her story is of a woman who blew a prillarhorn to warn the Norwegian peasant militia of the oncoming Scottish army. The army was making their way through Gudbrandsdal on their way to Sweden to enlist in the Kalmar War against Denmark and Norway. She played a key role in the successful ambush of the Scottish army.
