Seattle Aquarium, Public aquarium at Pier 59, Seattle, US.
The Seattle Aquarium displays marine creatures in six major habitat zones that showcase species from Pacific Northwest waters and the Coral Triangle. The facility sits directly on Pier 59 along Elliott Bay, combining education with active protection of local ocean life.
The facility opened in 1977 on Pier 59, introducing structured marine education to the Seattle waterfront. Over the decades, the aquarium expanded its mission from simple display to targeted conservation projects for threatened species.
The aquarium works with local Coast Salish tribes to honor their centuries-old connection to the sea through special programs. Visitors learn about traditional fishing techniques and indigenous perspectives on protecting the marine environment.
The aquarium opens daily from 9:00 to 18:00 and offers reduced admission for seniors, military personnel, and tribal members at the ticket desk. The exhibits spread across several floors, with elevators and ramps available for wheelchair users.
The Window on Washington Waters tank holds roughly 120,000 gallons (454,000 liters) and shows regional species in a reconstructed Puget Sound setting. Visitors often see divers working directly inside the tank to feed the animals.
