The museum is moving to a new location in late 2012 so all of this information will soon be outdated. But for now.. this is a very interesting museum covering early Seattle history and touching on all important events that effected the city such as the Alaskan gold rush, the great depression, and the WTO protests.
Update – the new museum is opened!
We haven’t visited it yet but our daughter who lives in Seattle did and sent us a review and a photograph. “If you want an update for MOHAI in Seattle, I went to the new museum building today - it's very nice. They've definitely designed the place with accessibility in mind - all the exhibits are low enough to reach and some of them even move up and down. There is a lot, but no vehicles over 20 feet tall or 25 feet long can use it, so that rules out most RVs. The closest place you could park a RV is probably over near Seattle Center, which would be a bit of a hike. The best way to get there is to take the South Lake Union Street Car from downtown. ” Museum

Where is this museum? I don't think I've ever heard of it before!
ReplyDeleteIt's off of 520 ,right before the floating bridge. There are signs but it's easy to miss, tucked down in an out of the way place. The new location is going to be at Lake Union Park.
ReplyDeleteI have it marked on the Washington map if you want the exact location.
I'm good, I finally found it :). I've been mapping all of these neat little places for the next time Dawn and I visit the Seattle area with the RNE :).
