Very nice museum, lots to see and learn about the history of Seattle. It has a few things the kids would enjoy. My favorite part was learning about the founders, the Native American history and history of Alki.

The highlight for me was the top floor which feels like as if you are in the ship with a ship’s wheel that you can turn and ship binoculars from which you can see a zoomed up view of gasworks park. Also there’s windows that...Read More
