R BMay 30, 2015Huge collection and great exhibits! Sometimes the curatorial voice is lost...visitors get a jumble of info that doesn't always weave itself together, and leave asking what it all meant
Jesse HarrisJanuary 6, 2013Goose turds here are amazing. Nearly stepped on one inside the museum :-(I still however picked up a membership, the museum is fantastic!
Silvia AdrianaNovember 12, 2016It's an interesting and interactive place for learning about Seattle and Pacific Northwest history in a fun way. I love it!
Janine AndersonJanuary 13, 2013This is an absolutely fabulous museum. Lots to see and do but bring the hand sanitizer, as there is also a lot to touch!

TruthorDare.usNovember 13, 2012We dare you to find the USS Colorado deck gun in the Garden of Iconic Objects and then head into the Hall of Icons and Eye Candy and find a pink tow truck.
