Odyssey Maritime Discovery Center
SEATTLE, WA
At the West Coast’s only modern maritime museum, visitors explore commercial, recreational and environmental issues related to the world’s oceans and to Seattle’s own Puget Sound. And they have boatloads of fun doing it—piloting a virtual tugboat, loading a container ship, or paddling a kayak around the Sound. Three galleries include: “Ocean Trade,” “Harvesting the Sea,” “Sharing the Sound.”
