We make the past a brand new experience with hand-on activities, many special exhibits, and over a million historic photos.

Stroll down an 1880's street, complete with storefronts and the actual machines, tools and products used by settlers. Feel the heat at the Great Seattle Fire exhibit, featuring interactive computer kiosks, early firefighting equipment, films and historic photos. And visit Salmon Stakes to try your hand at hauling in salmon from a fishing boat of slicing and canning 60-pound Chinooks inside an early century cannery. These are just a few of many wonderful exhibits offered at the museum.

Visit the Museum Store for books, clothing, videos and more. Parking is free. Located south of the University of Washington.
