Stan Boreson, King of Scandinavian Humor, dies at 91

EVERETT — Stan Boreson, the beloved entertainer from Everett who won hearts with his wacky songs and upbeat accordion playing, died Friday.

He was 91.

In the 1950s and 1960s, local children watched Boreson sing silly lyrics and play his accordion on KING-TV’s “KING’s Klubhouse,” later “The Stan Boreson Show.” He performed on national and international stages as well. Whether it was the king of Norway or a crowd at the Everett Sausage Festival, he adored his audiences.

Boreson leaves behind his wife, Barbara, and a son and daughter, Stan and Ann. He had three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
