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! Plan on at least 3 full hours to see everything.- Jian AdornadoSeptember 6, 2014Free every first Thursday of the month. Great way to see history and technology together.
Errin PJune 12, 2019The best musical in town isn't at The 5th Ave - it's at The Great Seattle Fire Theatre. Make sure you catch it!- I MJuly 20, 2017Great place to spend an hour or two learning about PacNW history and see some quality Seattle memorabilia. Do not miss the fire exhibit.

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.
Jack ReevesSeptember 4, 2017Check out the speciality gallery on the 2nd floor and the Great Seattle Fire exhibit.- Louis GardinoSeptember 6, 2014They have a lot packed into the perimeter of this place. Spend a couple of hours seeing the local history. Very fun.
