NOAA Open House

Explore your world and learn more about how NOAA – the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – works to understand and predict changes in Earth’s environment to help protect people and property and to conserve and manage coastal and marine resources. Join us at the Western Regional Center in Seattle, Washington for a series of free activities, including engaging science presentations and panels, interactive exhibits and tours. This event is perfect for the whole family.

NOAA staff and scientists will provide guided tours of the Alaska Fisheries Science Center Marine Mammal Bone Laboratory, the Alaska Fisheries Science Center Net Loft, the Dive Center that prepares and equips NOAA divers, the National Weather Service Forecast Office, and the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory’s engineering shop where they build new technology to collect new data from our oceans.

The open house will run from noon to 6:30 p.m. at NOAA’s Western Regional Center in north Seattle, on the shores of Lake Washington. It is free and open to the public. Adults must bring valid photo identification.
