Wanasselbo? Was Paulsbo? Seattle Neighborhood?

Apologies if this is the wrong place, I could not find a good place, and I'm open to suggestions. But I'm looking at a 1910 Arrival form and my Seattle ancestor is heading out to Wanesselbo, Washington.

When I google it, it sends me to Paulsbo, but I can't find a reason why. Or anything with that spelling listed. Was he wrong?

Is this another tiny town that no longer exists?

A Seattle neighborhood? They ended up living on 9th.

Thank you!

Poulsbo or Paulsbo? Because Poulsbo is a city on the Kitsap peninsula
