A great museum that showcases the history of Seattle and more. At first I thought it was empty as you walk in, but most of the displays are along the walls. Tip - the first Thursday of the month has free admissions between 5-8

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.
